I like this. I feel like I’m too old, at 45, to relearn and this may help!

My stepdad saved, as much as he could, so he and my mom could enjoy at the level or slightly less, retired 18 months ago and was proud. Retired at 71. Died this January past. Got less than 2 years.

Thanks Capitalism!

It’s because HN folks seem to consider themselves above working-class or soon to be above. They’re just temporarily stuck before they find their big ceo level breaks.

They often demonstrate ideals that go counter to their own interests while simping for daddy ceo’s boot and money.

> communism

There has never been communism. Especially in the US.

Stop pretending people owning homes is impossible and only for corporations - it only makes you seem like the simp for profit piece of trash you are.

People don’t prevent housing. Capitalism does.

Source that denominator or just accept that you are bigoted.

Except it should not be divisive - as the topic of a nation state’s actions toward their stated goal of genocide (I’m sorry, “mowing the lawn”) should turn everyone against said nation state. Instantly.

That’s.. not what zionism is and even if it was, genocide is not ever acceptable as a way toward that end.

…why would I want aid for Israel to pass? I don’t want zionism to run a nation state, and for people of all faiths to be .. not under the yoke of apartheid or genocide.

I guess I just don’t understand - why it’s ok to criticize “one side’s” tactic and not the other when one of the sides is killing by the thousands, while claiming to be “mowing the lawn.”

FYI, one man’s “terrorist” is another’s freedom fighter.

Terrorism is not an ideal, it’s a tactic. One the zionists and america uses, but when they do it’s ok?

I labeled hamas a “people” because they are not a nation state - not even close.

Why is HN flagging links as dead within minutes?

*profit

Profit is stolen wage or stolen housing.

When profit is allowed for things that make people safe, housed, healthy, fed, or educated, those profiting are, imho, committing crimes against humanity.

Looks then like the safest way is nationalization. All of it.

* safest for the humans needing homes which is the only pov that should be considered.

Bad for whom? Shareholders? Fuck shareholders, people need homes they can afford.

Ideas labeled as crazy or even violent have sprung up over history when people are pushed to breaking points.

Capitalism’s formula for infinite expansion will eventually break people.

How things like housing, healthcare, education, food are allowed to profit boggles my mind and is deplorable.

> relief

Nationalize (rental) housing or make it so no corporation can own housing. Co-ops where renters are actually owners for large scale buildings. More single family housing.

Riots.

I mean.. there are lots of ways

> cannot fathom

Yes you can. It’s capitalism. The owners of the current system lobby and advertise and “manufacture consent” in keeping the current system because it is wildly profitable.

That’s really all there is to it.
