No no, it's not just landlords, remember? Homeowners too!
I just don't think my mom should be dragged into the street and fucking shot because she "bought a house in 1996." If you were really about the proletariat you would shoot the bank owner so her mortgage would be paid off (well, as if that would work, but it's at least closer.) You're just a poser, pose harder.
It has nothing to do with homeowners. Homeowners actually paid for their land and are probably indebted to a bank in the form of a mortgage.
Nobles who own estates did not do that, they probably have a carve out in the state constitution and obtained their land by inheriting it from their ancestors (and being exempt from an estate tax).
Some homeowners inherited it from a parent that paid for it, should they be killed? And if you go back far enough, someone did "discover" that land (read: killed or displaced Native Americans), so it's the same as your british problem just actually closer to "great great grandpa fought for it" than the brits fighting the french or whatever the hell, which would probably be greatX6 by now.
Where does the comic say anything about a tax? It doesn't. You can assume that's what it means all you want but your assumptions are no more valid than mine due to lack of context. Frankly I'd say my assumptions are more valid than yours because I'm just going off the source while you're bringing outside things the source doesn't actually say.
No one ever mentioned homeowners unless they owned more than one and by definition, that makes them landlords. If your mother really owns one house and has been struggling to pay it off for close to 30yrs, don't you think you're in the wrong for defending the class of people who bought out everything and had to make her take out a mortgage in the first place, one she may never end paying?
The pig-man depicted in the picture is a caricature for landlords and homeowners with more than a significant one and the homeless folks are not even claiming the place, they're just trying to live off the lands
I'm assuming you stand to inherit the place from her, probably because you'll never be able to buy your own place since the landlords you're defending bought everything and you are scared that Red Communists would come after you for that, calm down, it's just one house, the overlord-landlords would probably buy it from you for a pittance and throw into the streets, those red communists would never get to you for owning a house
a lot of assumptions above as I don't really know you or what you think you stand to gain by defending a class of pigs
No-one ever mentioned landlords, either. That’s the whole point. This comic, as it stands, simply defends fighting people who own land.
Well I was gonna comment basically the exact same comment as the other guy who replied to this. So, yeah, what he said.
Also of note however
Soooo call me when you make up your mind.
Yup, that's all you have. Assumptions. Get good poser.
I don't think the comic had anything to do with a modern landlord, but rather a noble owning an estate.
