    Every day people don't realize they're closer to being homeless than they're closer to being rich

    Evict landlords from the planet

  • Aug 27, 2021

    This will lead to more homeless and violence.

    Small time landlords are suffering and haven't been getting any support from the goverment. These landlords will be selling and take advantage of the housing market right now.

    Rent will go up as there will be less available to rent.

    EDIT: actually there are billions set aside for renters and landlords, but paperwork isn't being processed due to bottlenecks.

    I've been thinking about this event a lot, and it brings me to the dialectic between further exploitation, popular movements, and reform.

    For example, how much further will they exploit domestically until there is a popular movement?

    How big does that popular movement have to be until the government instills some type of reform as an olive branch?

    Will people ever break through that olive branch and become revolutionary?

    For example,

    Police have tortured Black people in the US for too long and a popular movement arose. The movement was so large, however it only netted some cities to defund, as well as made it illegal to put knees on necks as an officer. Plus, they threw Chauvin in prison.

    Did these reforms work as an olive branch? Yes. Are any of these reforms fixing the problem? No.

    The reforms are meaningless, but it still quenched the rage of people. (Is this an accurate a***ysis? Did people just get tired?) I think the key aspect here is the movement was so spontaneous, people just gave up when there was a small concession.

    Thought on the contradiction between meaningless reform and quenching anger:

    The last time the US got meaningful reforms was the 20s. FDR signed the new deal. Everyone was f***ing unemployed, the specter of Communism and the USSR was right around the corner, and it was gaining steam in the US. These reforms totally dampened and quenched any type of revolutionary fervor.

    I can't recall any time there was huge protests and there was meaningful reforms / concessions since the New Deal.

    Just some thoughts

    Idk dude people are way too pacified and think they're temporarily embarassed millionaires to pushback. All leftist movements in the US have been either destroyed or co opted. I have some hope for gen Z slowly pushing the overton window ahead but it may be too late by then
