What’s the theory justification for “landlords are cops?” Fuck cops and fuck landlords but what is the connection?
Don’t know where that comes from, but I think it has to do with the institutionalized authoritative power that comes with the job. Both are positions that can be abused, and can negatively impact people’s lives.
On the other hand, my past landlords were nowhere near as helpful about noise complaints, as the police. So there’s that.
Not just positions that can be abused, but positions that are fundamentally abusive no matter how good the individual occupying them may be
I almost got evicted over a bogus noise complaint. You are basically illustrating the point of the meme.
To elaborate on what @ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net said, as a landlord they must collect rent. That is inherently an extractive and exploitative relationship and they can only extract rent with the implicit threat of violent removal from your home if you do not pay it. And the arm of the state with the monopoly on said violence is the police, ergo landlords are cops.
I hope Jefferies Tube Chakotay becomes a trend.
You just reminded me of Jeffry Toobin and I hate you for that lol.
Looking at it another way, this is the result of the market pricing people out of normal conversation
