A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

This story is very confusing, and I can only assume it's not as cut and dry as this screenshot of a tweet would have us believe. Being evicted because you can't pay your rent and being evicted because you decided to stop paying your rent are genuinely two different things
You can play the centrist, but only if you throw away your morals. Even if she's refusing to pay rent, it's still simply appalling to throw her out. File a civil suit and collect the money in court or from her estate or something. After all, she's 93. If you throw her out, she will probably die. It really is that simple... Or maybe you have different values. I hope not, but some people really are that cruel.
It's impossible to make a moral argument with so little information. Again, we're presented here with a screenshot of a tweet. We have no idea what actually transpired here
We have no idea what actually transpired here, but there's no viable chain of events that would make it acceptable to evict a 93 years old. Full stop.

Holy bootlicking batman. You already had your argument dismantled elsewhere so I won't do so myself, but what the fuck how delicious does the boot have to be for you to so persistently defend such blatant cruelty? This is "you don't know why those IDF soldiers shot children in the head" levels of apologia and you should think deep and hard about why you're doing this.
I honestly could not care less why she stopped paying
"Ackchually, I don't know the details, so maybe they were right to evict an ancient woman"
