yeah that’s what i was thinking

only under late stage capitalism would investing in real estate be seen as self care

becoming a landlord is self-care. if by self-care, we mean making other people take care of you or dying miserably.

Taking on enormous debts to obtain a license to property so that you can police it on the investment bank’s behalf.

After George Washington died, he asked his wife Martha to free all of his slaves. She refused to free them, but you can’t really blame her, can you? She was suffering from trauma, so she treated herself! Owning slaves is self-care! Abolitionists need to stay in their fucking lane.

you probably hate journalists about the right amount, but maybe you don’t hate cops enough. what can we do to help you with that? there’s only three of us, but the behavior can absolutely be extrapolated.

I could swear that I remember seeing about 7 or so years ago that they had some sort of weekly“Luxury Lifestyles” section.

Trying to convince people that the Paper of Record is not on our side is a haul often times.

the wsj has a whole dedicated wealth section with lifestyle advice on what to do with your money. trends in mansions, ultra-luxury travel, yachts, clothes, etc. I used to subscribe many years ago when I worked in finance and even as a lib that section turned my stomach

“Real estate investment” should be an oxymoron. Who benefits from a house being “invested” in?

If they mean putting money in fixing up a house, that’s one thing I guess…but I don’t think I will ever understand rich people.

it’s a way to convince people that they actually own private property and confuse class loyalties.

A man enters a house, kills everyone inside it, and plants a For Sale sign on the front porch.

Another man approaches and asks about the property. He is told that home ownership is the only way to defend yourself from the guy going around town brutalizing people.

it;s simple. everything they say to the poors is a lie, ignore that and look what they do, look what they say to each other.

Investing in something is when you let it sit there and fall to pieces.

There seem to be quite a few living corpses in the US government, so you’re in luck

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
