People who complain that Lemmy is full of tankies have never seen the comment section of a meme making fun of landlords. I’m convinced Lemmy is actually full of landlords.
can you link one? I’ve never seen them not treated as the bottom feeding scum they are.
There aren’t any. The ones they linked below have maybe 2 out of 70+ comments defending them. I can’t tell if ImplyingImplicatior and ObviouslyNotBananas are dumb as bricks or being sarcastic.
I’m dumb as bricks. Welcome to lemmy btw! Are you enjoying the pornography?
I am thank you! Got a little lost on which type of shit post I was in
The good type!
Hey now, let’s not yuck others’ nsfw yums. They’re all good!
I didn’t say others were worse! This one’s worse!
Oh crap sir. I don’t want to fight sir! I think we figured out which of the two options. Now if everyone else could too.
I love my landlord he’s doing a service to society and deserves a tip this christmas.
Now many many years ago when I was 23 I was renting from a landlady who was pretty as can be This landlady had a grown up daughter, had hair of red My roommate fell in love with her and soon the two rented This made my roommate my landlord-in-law and changed my very life … I’m my own landchad
Sounds like a legit story if I’ve ever heard one
And may that always be the case.
Hopefully this link works https://lemmy.world/post/5022932
If not, try searching for “Landlord Party In Berkeley Ends In Fights” and then scroll to the negative comments. In my search, it seems like the landlord supporters have gotten quiet recently. Probably because they were downvoted so much lol
Imagine tipping a landlord Jesus Christ
I will say it doesn’t seem like.people are very pro-landlord in that thread. It looks like a ragebait meme.
Edit: Oh weird, I think somehow initially when replying to your comment, I was replying to a different link. Sorry for the confusion.
Tip your landlord this holiday season
A lot of the whining about tankies probably comes from landlords.
Haven’t seen the tankies in a while now, they seem to keep to lemmygrad.
Both tankies and landlords find that being a part time dog walker is an acceptable day job. The difference is that the tankies live in their parent’s basement instead of working and the landlord lets other people live in his basement instead of working.
Where tho? Everyone is clearly taking the piss out of the meme and pretending to agree with it. Nobody is actually out there tipping their landlord(well, I sure fucking hope not at least…).
i think every landlord should have a bashed in skull :)
Sorry OP, not everyone is as much of a sourpuss as you when it comes to hating landlords. I understand that the problem is not with landlords that own a second or even third house, but with people and corporations that own 5+ houses. They are the ones that are hoarding the stock and using it as a “get, rich, quick” investment scheme. You want to be mad, then atleast be mad at the right people.
Sorry you can’t afford a house OP, but I’m not okay with you demonizing regular people that have worked their asses off to be able to afford a second house, and rented out their starter home. Does that make me “fucking love” landlords? No, it just means I’m being a rational fucking adult about it.
Edit: ITT: The 99% fighting over the scraps that the 1% leave behind, whilst doing their best to fuck over one another.
Fuck me for wanting financial stability, I guess.
My landlord has only this one second apartment and never responds unless we refer to laws and work with deadlines.
I love it, that’s a real landlord it is.
…and they are a shitty person. Sorry dude. I won’t defend them lol.
You contradicted yourself. Op can’t get a starter home but the starter home he would have bought is held hostage by the “smol” landlord. Pick one.
“Held hostage.”. Fucking lol. I didn’t contradict myself at all.
Where did the landlord get the starter home? What if the seller refused to sell but just rent out instead what would he do then?
Ok
Thank you for understanding.

There’s no good reason (except greed) not to just sell the “starter house”.
Passive income. Equity. Financial security. Something you can take a quick loan out against without worry that you’ll lose your home.
I mean you can easily argue “greed” about everything. For example: Why do you need a bigger paycheck (besides greed)? Any answer you give, I can conveniently waive away as you not living within your means. I mean, you could easily buy or build yourself a tiny home and live on a cheap plot out in the boonies. Oh, you want amenities? Accessibility to the convenience of a town/city? What could you possibly want with any of those material wants (besides greed)?
I think the reason is “I don’t want to have to work until I die” actually.
Investment property is one of the few remaining ladders of social mobility. Does it suck that it doesn’t extend down far enough? Yes. But removing it as an option just further widens the gap between the billionaires and everyone else.
Where’s that meme with the oreos
Why the fuck does that person get bigger scraps from the King’s table! Fuck him!
