    I hated paying people money and prefer to take it from others

    I actually respect the position more than I do an ideological republican. It's fair valid (internally consistent), it's reasonable. I just think it's the weaker class to back if all else were equal. (But then for some reason it's not equal in terms of who wants to make a world worth sticking around for)

    I'm trying to wrap my head around how a tenant could possibly be perceived as ungreatful, but I just can't.

    Like they're paying a huge chunk of their income and yet they have no legal right to the house they're paying for. That's pretty damn grateful

    I frequently see landlords posting how they aren't even making money because the rent goes towards the mortgage. Conveniently ignoring that the renter is in effect still buying them a house.

    I enjoy watching normie youtube videos where landlords not only complain that they can’t make any money, but even talk about losing shitloads of money because housing prices are so high now that even short term rentals aren’t profitable.

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, fuck off.

    When I bought my house there was a brief period of time wherein the existing tenant was staying to complete the semester before moving out and I beat myself up over being a landlord for like 6 days.

    They were already leaving under agreements made by the prior landlord and had paid no rent to us, but it was still enough to feel scummy AF.

    I hated the concept of hunting until I wasn't the one being hunted.

    "Perspective" is an odd name for a piece like this, seems more like a lack of perspective to me. Though I guess I just don't know how damn hard it is to live as a parasite and how ungrateful your host always is.

    It's amazing how one sentence is enough to make you despise someone

    Wow almost like social antagonisms in society are structural and not individual, someone should look into this

    Nope. As we learned from our landlord visitor in this thread, the problem is a few bad apple landlords ruining it for everyone else, because once you are enough of a landlord, you become a "bank" and then become bad instead of just a small time Mom and Pop parasite. All tenants are inherently lazy and ungrateful though, and deserve to pay rent to a hard working landlord.

    Grateful for what? Did you build the house? Do you even repair any damages? Or do tenants get to live for free in your house? Fucking ghoul
