 RENT is a scam. Notes from the edge of the narrative matrix. A poor person in the US asked bend over backwards and degrade themselves in all sorts of official and unofficial ways for a few bucks in welfare. But the Pentagon can spend trillions on a 20-year war that achieves nothing but making assholes rich without being asked a question. The bad news is the oligarchic empire is ratcheting up authoritarian control with the goal of trapping us in an Orwellian dystopia so gradually we don't notice. But the good news is they won't succeed because they'll get us all killed via nuclear war or climate collapse first. Always blame the manipulators, not the manipulated. Question. What is a landlord? Answer. A landlord is someone who is paid by a tenant for the privilege of keeping vandals and disuse from destroying their investment property, which they will sell at an immense profit, while complaining about having to do maintenance on their own investment. Question. What is rent? Answer. Rent is a double-dipping scam where in a landlord has a tenant pay off the loan in their investment property for them, and then evicts that tenant and sells the property for a lot of money. People complaining about the U.S. eviction ban are like, oh, help me. I am a landlord and my investment property isn't yielding free money. I am a lord. I cannot get a job. I cannot work for my hands are like gelatin desserts. Nobody is entitled to make free money tenetting their investment property. If your rent scam isn't working, sell your investment like a normal investor. Can you think of a better way to provide shelter? Yeah, redistribute wealth, redistribute property, eat BlackRock executives alive. If you don't let landlords evict tenants, they'll have to sell their property to BlackRock. Yeah, that isn't the killer argument you think it is. It assumes renters care which lord they're exploited by. Selling means you make money boo-hoo. It just means we need a revolution to take back what institutions like BlackRock have stolen. You've clearly never owned a rental property. No, I've never exploited a system premised on the continued existence of a permanent rent paying underclass. That's like telling me I can't criticize child abusers until I've abused a child. Hiring mainstream news agencies to help you fight misinformation on your social media platform is like hiring David Duke to help diversify your workforce. Mandatory vaccines would be a violation of bodily sovereignty and vaccine passports are authoritarian abuses and people should be allowed to discuss this stuff on the social media platforms everyone uses and the army shouldn't be policing the streets of fucking Sydney. The mass media just spent years leading the world on a wild goose chase for Trump Russia collusion that never existed and now they have the absolute gall to act like people are deranged lunatics for not trusting them about elections, viruses and vaccines. Global capitalism is beginning to look like the end of a game of monopoly. Right-wingers are always very concerned that they're being manipulated into doing stupid left-wing things to advance an authoritarian agenda and not at all concerned that they're being manipulated into doing stupid right-wing things to advance an authoritarian agenda. Rightists. The global elites are grabbing up all the power and wealth. Leftists. Yep, have been for a while. Rightists. It's called the Great Reset. Leftists. Sure you can call it that. Rightists. We need a global revolution. Leftists. Yeah we've been saying that since the 1800s. I've been writing every day for years about how the oligarchic empire is pushing us toward authoritarian dystopia and extinction and will all die if we don't have a global revolution very soon. And the scam-demic people keep yelling at me for not saying this using their jargon. It's like me every day for years. They're ramping up authoritarian agendas and if we don't all rise up immediately we'll all be killed. The scam-demic crowd. God damn it, Caitlyn. Why can't you understand that things are serious now? Whenever I say I don't comment on certain aspects of the COVID narrative because I'm bad at science. People tell me, well I'm no good at science and I can understand what's going on with COVID perfectly. No that just means you're less real about what you know and don't know. If it requires no scientific smarts like knowing soldiers shouldn't be policing civilians in Sydney then I'm on it. If it does then I'm kind of lost. What's weird is my husband and collaborator, that's me, is just as bad at this stuff as I am. We haven't got a scientific brain between us. I've been looking at this thing for over a year and there's a lot I just can't wrap my mind around and I'm not going to just accept other people's analysis on faith if I can't verify it for myself. If you say you get it, you're either better at science than me or less honest.
