the epstein class has successfully convinced the western world that non-violence is the only viable path forward.
The cheering for Luigi has me wondering whether the embrace of non-violence actually runs that deep. I think people are scared, but I think those with a deep and abiding commitment to non-violence are a minority.
the cheering for luigi is a fascinating case for me and the liberal standard bearers in the united states like colbert, stewart & the dsa make it crystal clear that they disapprove and/or will kick you out for advocating it.
somehow americans automatically associate political violence with dead and/or maimed people and mexico proves that basic ass property damage is enough to make your country's political duopoly fall on their faces and that's why the have shienbuam as president now. meanwhile we're stuck with trump and whatever genocide-enabling candidate the democratic leadership lets us have.
I agree, especially if they were put under enough pressure, and were part of a movement without said commitment to non-violence
Left wing violence is a means, not an ends; the reason you see so much egregious violence from fascists is that violence and its emotions are the ends for them, it's what they set out to achieve. I am honestly terrified that we do not see substantive shifts before left wing violence breaks out, when violence is a necessary means it tends to be largely indiscriminate... just ask the Romanov children.
No. Violence always was, still is, and most likely almost forever will be - an integral part of society.
However, "The State" has the monopoly on it and on its legitimate use - one it lends out to its organs, giving them rules of conduct, standards and a uniform to make it feel legitimate.
Just charge what the utilities cost. Why you gotta make up some bullshit to tack ontop?
Because they’ll always invent some BS way to charge you more while providing less.
Why
They thought of a bigger number and now its your problem.
Dragon levels of greed
Well, the article seems to explain it: they can't.
Local policies seem to cap the rent to protect renters, so they make up some bullshit extra fees to bypass those caps.

And a functional local government wouldn't allow that kind of sophistry and would treat that exactly like illegal rent increases. But you can't have both landlords existing and any level of functional government.
Utilities aren't rent.
Sometimes they're included, sometimes not, sometimes some are while others are not.
"Do you work from home?"
"No."
Exactly!
Stay at home parenting is the exact same costs of not more, no? We shouldn't have it for either it just really doesn't make that much sense
How did we go from chains to reins to peens?
people told me reins looked like penis so i rolled with it lol
I lost my penis, and I find this offensive.
Edit to add: Nevermind, I found it.
Mao’s policy on landlords sounds better every day.
Mao was far too kind, tbh
More and more people are saying it!
Appreciate this, especially the commute cost calculator. Thank you.
