  • Like in a housing shortage you’re hoarding property and profiting off it.

    Housing shortages are caused by bad government policy: namely, low-density zoning. Direct your anger towards the entity that deserves it, and make them fix their fuck-up.

    (Note: I’m not making some kind of Libertarian “all government is bad” argument here. I’m saying that in this specific case, the laws need to be changed.)

    The “Christmas Season” is Fall, not Winter*. The only reason the holiday isn’t literally over when the Winter season starts is that the Christians got their calendar screwed up and hold the holiday on a fixed date instead of on the solstice where it belongs.

    (*Or “Spring, not Summer” for upside-down people, I suppose.)










  • This instance (lemmy.ml) is one that still federates with lemmygrad, last I noticed. Even then, although the number of unhinged tankies I see here is non-zero, it still isn’t large. (In fact, it’s mainly one particular user that stands out. Y-something, with a name using a bunch of stylized high-unicode characters.)

    When I’m on lemmy.world, which I think has defederated from lemmygrad, I pretty much don’t see them at all.

    Frankly, I don’t think they’re bothering to try to insert themselves in lemmy.world.
