#alab All Landlords Are Bastards 🧵

The landlord system is feudalism, it is one of the ugliest facets of capitalism and WE DON'T NEED IT. We as a species, as societies, as communities can do so much better.

Just think of how much money is wasted on paying landlords for literally nothing. They're gatekeepers, they don't do anything at all useful. Yet most people pay half their income on rent. That's not even counting the embodied rent costs of everything else we buy and pay for. How affordable would food, transportation and services be if no one paid landlords?

And the amount of energy it sucks and the emotional toll and psychic damage it does is so enormous. Almost everyone feels helpless and stuck in situations of exploitation or outright abuse but can't escape because they have to earn money to pay rent, or can't break up with their rapist because they can't find/afford a place of their own.

None of this is normal. None of this is sustainable. We won't accept any of it any longer.
