I stand by that post, and by my avatar, which says nothing about Azov. In any case, everyone in Azov is either dead or a Russian prisoner, so complaining about it isn't a good cover for your fascist sympathies anymore, especially given the number of open Neo-Nazis serving in the Russian army.

Hello keeshman, I just thought I'd update you about Azov, it's up to two regiments and five battalions now, plus a tank company.

Founder Biletsky said back in may iirc it has atleast 40,000 people under arms.

do you know anyone who’s done that? I guess it’s like rent-to-own but at $0 for the accumulating ownership interest

functionally it’d be rent to own. I’d sit down with her to talk about it first cause it might not even be something she’s interested in. would be a pain in the rear end to draw up a contract that covers every eventuality (such as being cool by letting her skip payments while unemployed, or if past payments count, etc) but you could just incorporate the cost of hiring a lawyer into her payments. obviously have a prenegotiated buyback deal in case she decides to move in a couple years. it’s not as simple or profitable as traditional landlording but it’s much less parasitic

right now landlording isn’t profitable at all, since I only charge my operating costs (which are the same monthly costs she’d have if she owned the place outright or a bit less), but letting her slowly buy the place is an interesting idea. I suspect it would take a very long time and we’d probably have to put the title in a trust or something, but yeah, interesting idea

I’ll paint a target on myself, sure. maybe I’ll finally get myself run out of CSPAM…

I bought a small condo in a chosen location so that my step-daughter could keep going to the same (ordinary, public) school after she and her mother moved in. rather than leave it empty, we first rented it to friends, and then to a refugee, both times at cost (property taxes, insurance, condo fees — the same costs they’d have if they were owners). the Canadian gov’t actually frowns heavily on giving independently-landed refugees free housing, but we haven’t charged her rent in about 2 years because she’s had trouble getting hours at her job. we keep the place in good repair and all that.

what should I be doing instead? there’s no way she can afford to live anywhere near places (with reasonable transit to where…) she could work if she had to pay “market rates” somewhere else, and she isn’t paying off a mortgage for us. we’ve thought about saving to buy another place to do the same thing with, again at cost, because profiting on a basic human need like housing is not what we want to do. are we causing some harm I don’t understand by doing this, or by doing more of it in the future?

I grew up poor enough that we had to sometimes choose between food and heat in Canadian winters, and I remember mom trying to figure out how to handle a rent increase. I’m hoping to give someone some housing security, and while I don’t expect praise for it—rich dude not being an rear end in a top hat should be the baseline, not a laudable event—I don’t want to be hurting people somehow.

alright, have at it

The acute problem with landlords is rent seeking. This actively hurts tenants. If you charge only cost, you are not doing that.

The second problem is that housing is privately owned, thus allowing housing to be a way to accumulate capital and a vehicle for speculation (as well as enabling aforementioned rent-seeking). Everyone who privately owns a house is "guilty" of this, but the main fault here lies with a government even allowing private ownership of basic human needs to be a thing. Landlords, by virtue of owning multiple housing units, are a special case, and especially if they own a lot of housing units, or own housing units for the express purpose of accumulating capital and/or speculation and/or rent-seeking are no longer existing in a poo poo system, but actively abusing that system for their own benefit.

So, are you doing the latter? Not so much. Do note however, that while you say the tenant is incurring the same costs as if she owned the place, if the tenant did indeed own the place she would be the person accumulating capital, for example through paying off the mortgage and potentially benefiting from the price increase of the real estate. Basically as a home owner she would be growing equity in her home. Since she is the tenant and you are the owner, you are the person growing equity. The only reason for this is that you at some point in your life had enough disposable income and/or savings, and she did not.


In the end you are living in a morally compromised system which leads to you realizing a financial benefit due to her having less fortune in her life than you did.

his point about society is utterly stupid but he’s kind of right about porn. if you just browse videos on pornhub and have your preference set to straight the main feed will include both big natties and bolt on slappers, blacked and bleached, femdom & Earl, but trans women don’t show up unless you specifically look for them, because straight men are really sensitive

sure but the set of “straight” as presented by pornography includes every type of woman but one*, and it’s because straight men are extremely anxious about their sexuality

If that were the point he's arguing, I'd agree 100% with it. But I don't think he's arguing in favor of including pre-/non-op transwomen in with the rest of hetero porn.

alright, have at it

You have no obligation as a leftist to give away all your earthly possessions and live life as a cave hermit. We all must make decisions every day while living under a capitalist system in order to survive, and many of those decisions will be 'immoral' from a leftist standpoint. The fruit/chocolate/toy you buy at the store was bought by blood, etc. Simply owning even your own home and not being a landlord is technically withholding it from others who may 'need it more'. "Why not bulldoze your lot and build 18 tiny homes and house the homeless". You see where I'm going, I hope.

What you are doing in your post above is simply charity. Charity is a fine thing, but it does nothing about changing the system as a whole (and in fact it may hinder it). Individual actions, outside of the extremes that we are now capable of (insane wealth like bezos/musk), is essentially meaningless. Do what helps you sleep at night, but don't think it makes you a worse person/leftist to do what you need to to take care of your family/yourself.

Here's where I would quote that paragraph from the book where it was something like 'in the early 1900's there was a group of people who believed in and fought for a better world, and they lost. Since then we are simply the walking dead. Who can blame anyone for the actions they take in such a world"

Hoping the CSPAM boys can swing in and print the actual quote, it's stuck in my head.
