Gregory's Server@HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @Daojoan No it is none of my business. I don't wish to own this building. It is my home and it is allowing me to do the work that I need to do, beyond that - it is none of my business. Keep telling me that it is, but that's none of my business either. I'm not even sure if the work I am doing is any of my business. It's just there to be done.

@storyworker @Daojoan @violetmadder “I don't wish to own this building” That’s good because men with guns will prevent you from doing so, even though you are financing it yourself. @HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @Daojoan who said i am upset? It's rather condescending and arrogant to presume that my offering of my own perspective, as much as it differs from your own, comes from place of ignorance of what it is that you are trying to say. Are you able to hold a different viewpoint AND comprehend other viewpoints??? @HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @Daojoan then you can assume that i also have that ability. @storyworker @Daojoan @violetmadder Are you unfamiliar with the concept of being wrong? @HeavenlyPossum @Daojoan @violetmadder yes of course I am. Are you? @violetmadder @Daojoan @storyworker Yes. I have repeatedly and explicitly endorsed your subjective experience of your landlord as positive. @FrenchPanda @HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @Daojoan well darnit. I'm just a complex human being - surely you've encountered that before? Just because you see it differently to me, it doesn't mean I'm wrong. You able to let that land in you somewhere? Okay then. You don't care about whatever happens to you and your living place. I cannot even fathom that, and I don't understand your "complexity" but okay. Less complex people tend to not like not having control over the place they live in. They don't like to be faced with the options of paying more and more money each year or be homeless. They would actually like being able to be sure that their home is actually their home.  @HeavenlyPossum Sounds like The Maffia. @Daojoan @violetmadder @FrenchPanda @storyworker @Daojoan @levampyre @storyworker @violetmadder @FrenchPanda Yes—the capitalist, the warlord, the landlord, the banker, the mafioso, the king, etc, are all variations on a central theme.  @RD4Anarchy @storyworker @FrenchPanda @HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @Daojoan Sometimes I get reminders of why I'm an atheist in the first place. It's not about metaphysics, it's that most religions are apologies for oppression. @FrenchPanda @HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @Daojoan it is my home. You can see it how you want to, but I'm the one who lives here, so, I get to decide. @FrenchPanda @violetmadder @Daojoan @storyworker You don’t at all get to decide—your landlord owns the home, with all the coercive state authority that comes with that particular legal institution. @HeavenlyPossum @FrenchPanda @violetmadder @Daojoan ok this has been intriguing. But once you start delving into thinking that you have more right to determine how it is that another person experiences and defines their own reality, I'm pretty disinclined to continue engaging. Ideological dogma is ugly and dangerous - no matter what colour hat it wears. Cheers. Seeya. @Daojoan @violetmadder @storyworker @FrenchPanda It’s easier to dismiss a new and uncomfortable idea as “ideological dogma” than actually consider that your understanding is incorrect. I get that! Cheers. @HeavenlyPossum @Daojoan @violetmadder @FrenchPanda I've been studying social work the past 3 years, there is nothing new you are telling me here. Why conflate a different perspective with ignorance? @HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @storyworker @Daojoan @FrenchPanda If another person experiences and defines their reality as controlled by a Jewish conspiracy set to exterminate white people or defines their reality as drunk driving being really good I think I have a right to correct them. @FrenchPanda @HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @Daojoan I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Having a home allows me to do the work I need to do. Having to leave at the end of the month would also allow me to do the work I need to do. |

I’m sorry that this has upset you so much, to hear how landlording actually works
