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

We cant just want the law to be upheld in situations we like dude.

Its funny when landlords get fucked over, actually

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Totally agree. But I wouldnt like it if someone misled my parents like this and took the house they actually live in, so I dont like this.

This was a renter taking the house that they, the renter, lived in

It was not depriving someone of ownership of the house they lived in but precisely the opposite of that, granting someone that ownership.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yeah...take the landlord element out of it.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 59 points 2 years ago (1 children)

but then that would be a completely different situation. why would you expect people to feel the same way about a completely different situation?

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Its the same principle. Personally Id make second homes illegal ...it destroys communities and takes housing stock from people that actually need it, but hey ho. Thatcher fucked us as well selling off council houses.

Now if you replace landlord with Jew, then think about it tankies smuglord

He's a landlord, that wasn't the house he lived in...

Who the fuck wants racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and anti-worker capitalist laws upheld?

'The rule of law' is a cloud of toxic farts youve been sniffing your whole life while the ruling class hang out on their mega yachts and in their towers (breaking any and all 'laws' they want)

all landlords should be given the choice between immediate execution and having their property expropriated, and having their property expropriated

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What lessons were those, if you don't mind me asking?

If your stance is the destruction of the state, then using or avoiding its legal system by whatever means necessary to further the project of undermining it is a coherent position.
