I think you're barking up the wrong tree, comrade. I think u/Zuberi really is anti-landlord and hasn't said anything to suggest otherwise. And their comment about hexbear's reputation on other instances wasn't anything having to do with the OP, it was about how you were insulting them.
if that's the case it's weird that they decided to be a pedant and pretend not to understand the extremely plain and simple original statement. It's plain they disagreed with it but didn't want to just say that.
For real, nat—take a chill pill. I say this with all the good faith love I share with all my comrades. Somebody being a pedant doesn't automatically make them a chud. @[email protected] reads like a fellow traveler still working out their
. Cut them a little slack.
Hear me out, FUCK landlords. But I shouldn't have to say that to get respect out of the leftist crowd.
In the event we're keeping capitalism here, an empty-home tax would make more sense than an income tax on empty homes. But that would still NOT be an "income" tax. Just let me be pedantic and shit on an article title without throwing me in w/ the lemmy.world crowd :(
Thumbs up emoji goes here.
Sorry that we come across as hostile weirdos sometimes. We're actually very nice hostile weirdos once you get to know us!
next time just explicitly state your objection instead of pretending to misunderstand
They got mad about my 9/11 user banner image, beyond just intentionally pretending to misunderstand instead of stating their objection. I think my chud detector is in good working order tbh
Weird, maybe, but the argument wasn't an ideological one from what I can tell, it was one about the wording not making sense that I honestly didn't understand either. I admit to being stupid about economic things, but I didn't know that "nominal income" meant something different than just income.
Like, you're going off with "You're typical of the "HEXBEAR IS RUINING THE LEMMYVERSE" chud" when glancing at their history, it doesn't look like they're a chud at all and were actually defending Hexbear when lemmy.world did the preemptive defederation shit.
