How so? Please explain. Maybe we can find some common ground. This is your opportunity to ask questions to someone you hate.
"As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce." - Adam Smith
Whether you already know (and are feigning ignorance) or not, that's just different kinds of aware and unaware parasitism. Rent-seeking as an economic activity is parasitism, full stop.
Nobody hates you. We hate landlords. Landlord-ism isn't an inalienable trait. You weren't born a lord or lady of the land. You can stop forcing people to pay your mortgage anytime you want.
