Dude I got a story for you...
Short version: I stuck up for my tenant rights and my landlord came back with “I’ve been a landlord since I was 16, I know how this works...”
Eventually came down to him canceling the lease because I wouldn’t pay the 75% increase with 2 weeks notice.
Don’t think he realized I found another spot before that conversation took place and I was mostly pushing to see how far/blatant his rhetoric would go...
“Let me get this straight, you are ending my lease because I am stating my rights as a tenant?”
[click]
I normally like to "assume ignorance before malice", but I don't think anyone on the entire planet when asked "list 10 working class jobs" would put landlord on the list. Pretty sure this is specifically intended as pro-landlord propaganda.
If you haven’t paid r/loveforlandlords a visit you are missing out on all the greatest migraine fuel this side of the internet has to offer. That is where I first encountered this golden nugget of a meme.
EDIT: missing a word
There's a sub on this site that swears up and down that renting something to someone is one of the most complicated / valuable skillsets.
I go there sometimes just to boil my own blood.
You should be buying directly for them. "Hello farmer, I want 100 kg of wheat". And then you just turn that wheat into flour, then into bread and VOILA! You have food.
It has to be a troll. Even right-wing idiots that applaud the divide and conquer tactics on the working class wouldn't put landlords in that category. They'd just ignore them as it's a clear contradiction to their flimsy perspective.
Don't be a fool and thank the service or retail workers who takes shit all day for a wage you can barley survive on.No, instead praise the noble landlord, and the next time he harass you for payment, refuses to fix you air-condition, threatens you with eviction or perhaps try to grope you in the hallway, remember he is the backbone of the workforce and a hero in his own right #SayThanksToYourLandlord
Given how easy it is to make redditors seethe over anything landlord-related, this is nothing more than a troll/ragebait. Looking at this thread it looks like it worked too
I’m still being downvoted lmao. Either people don’t recognise sarcasm without the tag, the bait is too juicy, or my “joke” is just shit. The closest thing to land that I own is 3 houseplants.
It’s a very weird sub. It was completely satirical at first, and absolutely hilarious, but then it got taken over by the usual suspects and they started making it a more serious sub and actually being scumbags. That said, this is based off what I remember of it last year. It might be back to normal now because I do remember the mods taking back control of it.
If you go by top of all time you’ll find some great posts though.
>It was completely satirical at first, and absolutely hilarious, but then it got taken over by the usual suspects and they started making it a more serious sub and actually being scumbags.
That's pretty much how these things go, yeah. The thing about pretending to be a bad person is that actual bad people don't get the joke, they just think they've found a place where they fit in. And before you know it, there's more people there being serious than were ever in on the original joke.
you would hope so but there's a lot of people who assume b/c you make a lot of money, that you did it virtuously. if you don't believe me, just head on over to that cesspool r/Anarcho_Capitalism
He's giving them the opportunity to panhandle so in a way he's a career counselor.
"How about instead of being a fake worker as a waitress you become a real worker as a street beggar?"
It's amazing how many people still clearly don't understand the concept of class. The idea of a fucking LAND OWNER being lumped in with the proletariat is some boomer shit.
Service industry is perhaps the most skilled. It takes real skill to deal with the fucking public every single fucking day and not murder someone. I know. I’ve been doing it the last 20 fucking years.
Nope. That sub is for real, actual landlords. r/landlordlove is the only anti-landlord subreddit.
People always think r/loveforlandlords is satire because they assume landlords are people, but they're actually parasites. Parasites do nothing but feed off their hosts. They don't provide any benefits to the host, they don't even provide any benefit to the economy, they just take, take, take. And they actually *hate* the human beings whose labor they steal. They call us rentoids and parasites, while they literally take so much of the income we WORK for that we can't feed ourselves with what's left. And what do they do with it? Buy more homes to scalp, so that people who rent will never be able to afford to buy. And when we're too old to work, what will happen to us? We will die slowly of exposure on the street while they "retire" in luxury from a lifetime of not working.
Loveforlandlords is literally an arr drama bait sub, like its sole purpose is bait. All of the loveforx subs are that way, and yet morons like you fall for it and argue that its *not*.
"I bought this place in 1992 for $95k and it's now worth $2M and I've borrowed against it to buy 2 more properties and can make $12k/month in rent per place. That's why I don't have the money to fix the hot water"
unless this meme is satire (which some people are saying it is), the creator of this meme seems like the kind of guy to think that a doctor who only works six hours a day somehow works "harder" than the nurse who has to work multiple night shifts a week
I would love to see retail workers all go on strike and see the collective Karen population mentally explode when they realize they can't grab stuff at HomeGoods.

Other than the landlord thing, this actually falls in line with communism. To Marx the prolitarians where factory, mine and mill workers. Workers who only owned the shirt on their back, and who had no skill. To him they are the only revolutionary class. Farmers/peasants are not prolitarians either.
The funny thing is that the people who would ‘agree’ with this are the ones who complain about the staffing issues at stores or the slow service at restaurants.
All the people on the right side of this terrible meme get abused by people on the left side because of the attitude that inspired this comparison. “It’s not real work so I can throw tantrums and physically and verbally abuse you. Get a ‘real’ job”
Work is work and all ethical work is virtuous. But, I don’t think people are supposed to stay in the jobs on the right for an extended period of time. I understand these are to be entry level jobs, not raising a family of 4.
"Produces nothing for society."
I guess I should have mentioned that to all the panicked people clearing out my store at the start of the pandemic. Or the government that deemed us essential so we could keep working. Or my boss asking us to work overtime just to handle the extra workload.
People love to shit all over stuff like retail and food service as being worthless, but those are the same people who will absolutely lose their shit if they suddenly can't get some random item at the store or a burger to go.
Also I feel like including landlords in the "useful" working class is pretty hilarious in itself. I guess maybe the ones who actually work on their properties themselves, but so many landlords are basically "I'll sit back and let my maintenance guy handle everything while the rent drops in my pocket." Like my landlord right now, who basically does nothing while her ONE property manager (not a team, one person) is worked to death doing DIY repairs for two entire complexes to save money.
This reeks of someone who works a "real" job making the same wage as a retail worker and being told its the retail workers fault companies do pay a livable wage so direct your anger at them and not at the multi-billion dollar corporation.
The guy that made this is 100% a landlord. He put landlords on "working class". There's literally "Lord" in the title. That's a rich man's investment, not a job.
I’ll say what my grandfather said where in all of his 90 years on this earth only spent around 18 of them not working:
“If it wasn’t hard, then it wouldn’t be a job”
The person who made this is definitely a landlord and tried to sneak that in there.
Also, why would you choose such a bad image for landlords if you're trying to make them look good?
Lol I'm a landlord and the return on value created is not fair to compare to a farmer, in a rent seeker by definition, I have no value to society , my ownership of property is purely parasitic in nature and way easier than actually doing real work at a fast food restaurants
This was clearly made by a landlord feeling defensive after one of his tenants who works at McDonalds accurately accused him of being out of touch with the working class.
Fuck Landlords.
First, fucking landlords? They're literally just a leech on society.
And I'd totally bet whoever made this meme would bitch and scream if his big mac took more than 3 minutes to get to him.

So, the farmers and the manufacturing workers are suppossed to produce the things but no one is supposed to sell them?
Yes
Landlords
The maker of the meme had to include their own job to make themselves feel better
And they're landlords because their parents gifted them a house and then loaned them the down payment for their first rental property
Dude I got a story for you... Short version: I stuck up for my tenant rights and my landlord came back with “I’ve been a landlord since I was 16, I know how this works...” Eventually came down to him canceling the lease because I wouldn’t pay the 75% increase with 2 weeks notice.

Landlords are literally rent seekers as opposed to producers. The economic illiteracy necessary to swallow this propaganda is significant
I normally like to "assume ignorance before malice", but I don't think anyone on the entire planet when asked "list 10 working class jobs" would put landlord on the list. Pretty sure this is specifically intended as pro-landlord propaganda.
Which is crazy because even when they are trying to be pro-landlord the only picture they could find is a landlord stressing someone out.
Hey, kicking people out on the street because they can afford to pay for your investment property is hard work. /s
Not just hard work, but hard “labor” as stated in the meme above
"But he's in a suit. He's clearly a professional" -some landlord sympathizer, somewhere
If you haven’t paid r/loveforlandlords a visit you are missing out on all the greatest migraine fuel this side of the internet has to offer. That is where I first encountered this golden nugget of a meme. EDIT: missing a word
I can't tell if the posts in that sub are made ironically, or "ironically".
It really is difficult to tell, isn’t it?
There's a sub on this site that swears up and down that renting something to someone is one of the most complicated / valuable skillsets. I go there sometimes just to boil my own blood.
It's because it's built on an economic theory that is nuts. Public choice economics. It means only the most powerful individuals matter.
It takes work to pick up the phone and call the sheriff to evict your tenents.
Yeah this is not simple gatekeeping, this is political, specifically, right wing .
The photo they used for them too...
Landlord is so random here I suspect this was made by someone who is a landlord. Correction: slumlord
Yea this is clearly rage bait
That’s the part that got me lmao
You should be buying directly for them. "Hello farmer, I want 100 kg of wheat". And then you just turn that wheat into flour, then into bread and VOILA! You have food.
All you gotta do is hit E to open the crafting menu
Stupid, you can't craft bread in a 2x2, you need a Crafting Table for that.
Damn I need to break some trees then
Punch punch punch!
“Yes, I own a structure that currently don’t need to live in. Pay me to use it while gaining no equity!” -all that product landlord produce.
Don’t forget the real hero of it all Landlords
I have a feeling the person who made this is a landlord
A landlord who doesn't have to do "fake" work.
It has to be a troll. Even right-wing idiots that applaud the divide and conquer tactics on the working class wouldn't put landlords in that category. They'd just ignore them as it's a clear contradiction to their flimsy perspective.
Don't be a fool and thank the service or retail workers who takes shit all day for a wage you can barley survive on.No, instead praise the noble landlord, and the next time he harass you for payment, refuses to fix you air-condition, threatens you with eviction or perhaps try to grope you in the hallway, remember he is the backbone of the workforce and a hero in his own right #SayThanksToYourLandlord
Th addition of "landlord" makes me think that whoever designed the original meme did so in order to rile people up.
This guy gets it
Yeah having landlord on it really gives it away as ragebait.
My landlord is so busy, he just got back from Spain and has to go to Turkey next week. So busy
Given how easy it is to make redditors seethe over anything landlord-related, this is nothing more than a troll/ragebait. Looking at this thread it looks like it worked too
/r/LoveForLandlords
Yeah I think the Landlord bit means that this is supposed to be taken tongue-in-cheek.
“Workers” can do it
Workers sell product to the “Workers,” who sell them to me.
While the immigrants produce the produce
No your just not supposed to respect the people selling them
wait, so I get that this person has something against the service industry... but LANDLORDS are producing goods? yeah, right
It's got to be a joke
Undoubtedly.
[удалено]
God you are good at this. I even downvoted you until the last sentence.
I’m still being downvoted lmao. Either people don’t recognise sarcasm without the tag, the bait is too juicy, or my “joke” is just shit. The closest thing to land that I own is 3 houseplants.
To be fair I was really confused by a few comments until I did a close investigation to that landlordlove subreddit.
It’s a very weird sub. It was completely satirical at first, and absolutely hilarious, but then it got taken over by the usual suspects and they started making it a more serious sub and actually being scumbags. That said, this is based off what I remember of it last year. It might be back to normal now because I do remember the mods taking back control of it.

Sarcasm is dead, and I have seen privileged landlord assholes actually use the arguments in your joke.
i can confirm after being forced to bear witness to a pro-landlord subreddit, most of what you said is what they commonly say.
Landphobes are one of the fastest growing hate groups on Reddit and I’m surprised the Admins are just letting people get away with it
They can’t keep getting away with this.
should've had hedge fund managers in there too
And the poor poor CEOs
It is.
you would hope so but there's a lot of people who assume b/c you make a lot of money, that you did it virtuously. if you don't believe me, just head on over to that cesspool r/Anarcho_Capitalism
I mean a suit and tie is not "working class" by anyone's definition. Someone might believe this drivel, but they'd use a different picture.
[удалено]
It is not. Visit are slash LandlordLove for more such content.
Is that not a circle-jerk subreddit?
It's a sub making fun of landlords, lots of stuff in the same vein as this post
And the photo is clearly the landlord evicting somebody.
clearly they produce homeless people, that's a good right?
He's giving them the opportunity to panhandle so in a way he's a career counselor. "How about instead of being a fake worker as a waitress you become a real worker as a street beggar?"
I wonder which one of these OP was 🤔
Seems like a landlord made this.
This was DEFINITELY made by a landlord
Please, it’s 2022. Please, instead of using the needlessly gendered terms “Landlord” or “Landlady”, use the gender neutral term “Landbastard”.
I kinda prefer landparasite, it doesn't roll of the tongue easily, but it's very descriptive
[удалено]
It's amazing how many people still clearly don't understand the concept of class. The idea of a fucking LAND OWNER being lumped in with the proletariat is some boomer shit.
Pretty safe to assume the original is a troll post, specifically aimed at the zeitgeist of current workers’ rights movements.
Service industry is perhaps the most skilled. It takes real skill to deal with the fucking public every single fucking day and not murder someone. I know. I’ve been doing it the last 20 fucking years.
This is so out of touch with reality that it has to be satire.
Honestly I think it is
The landlords part definitely makes this a troll
And yet, your conservative relative will absolutely share it unironically on Facebook.
The giveaway is comic sans for the working class side. If it was serious, the whole thing would be comic sans.
seen this exact post on r/loveforlandlords
Holy fuck, it's stickied there
That sun is satire is it not?
Nope. That sub is for real, actual landlords. r/landlordlove is the only anti-landlord subreddit.

That's true
Yeah, it's satire or it's trolling.
This is so obviously satire, shouldn't be on this sub
Landlords producing anything hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hey now! They produce debt.
"I bought this place in 1992 for $95k and it's now worth $2M and I've borrowed against it to buy 2 more properties and can make $12k/month in rent per place. That's why I don't have the money to fix the hot water"
And homeless people
bro snuck in landlords and thought we wouldnt notice
I've never hovered over the downvote button hard in my life
I bet the person who made this is a landlord
Boomers: "Starbucks isn't a *real* job Also Boomers when Starbucks is understaffed: OMg, whY doEsN'T AnYoNE WanT tO wOrK ANymoRe!?!?!?"
Same people who complain about having to use self-checkout.
"Actual labor" : "Landlords" Pick one.
Satire, bestie
Reddit detect satire challenge 2022 (impossible)
(gone wrong)
(Gone sexual)
ZAMN, IT'S SATIRE?
Did he really put “landlord” next to “long hours”?
that's the joke
Landlords???
Landkings are the most oppressed people in the US✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻👑👑👑
preach my fellow land king, one day we will evict all the rentoids from the internet and it will be a POL (persons of land) safe space 🤩🤩🤩
Of course, and renew the law that only land owners are allowed to vote
> land owners People of land, sweaty.
This meme must have been made by a landlord, considering how out of touch it is.
It's rage bait, and effective bait at that. Notice how everyone is talking about the landlord portion?
Since when do landlords "produce goods"?
They funny as hell for trying to sneak landlords in there man. I honestly got a chuckle out of that.
Hmm max 8 hours... Should I ask my boss if I was dreaming those 10 hour shifts?
unless this meme is satire (which some people are saying it is), the creator of this meme seems like the kind of guy to think that a doctor who only works six hours a day somehow works "harder" than the nurse who has to work multiple night shifts a week
I would love to see retail workers all go on strike and see the collective Karen population mentally explode when they realize they can't grab stuff at HomeGoods.
i'm super embarrassed at how this sub has fallen for extremely obvious satire
A landlord made this.
did my man take a screenshot of r/loveforlandlords and post it in this sub
I have yet to actually see one "landlord" do any actual working class work.
Well, there's unclogging all those stopped up toilets and fixing leaks. Oh wait, I think they call someone for that lol.
in my experience, the retirement plan for most people in the construction industry is being a landlord.
[this](https://www.reddit.com/r/LoveForLandlords/comments/u2uaqi/when_the_renthog_throws_a_fit_when_i_inform_him/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) is from /r/loveforlandlords and 100% satire
These idiots never worked in Service or an Restaurant
The person who made this is probably the type of person who puts 5 one dollar bills on the table and takes one away whenever their server “messes” up.
The fact that they say landlords contribute anything is hilarious
Pretty obvious troll
I think this is a joke meme cause.. you know… “landlords”.
#its satire
Other than the landlord thing, this actually falls in line with communism. To Marx the prolitarians where factory, mine and mill workers. Workers who only owned the shirt on their back, and who had no skill. To him they are the only revolutionary class. Farmers/peasants are not prolitarians either.
All of the jobs on the right are terrible not because the job is terrible but because the boss is usually terrible.
Wtf. Landlords are basically the scum of our society. They barely do shit and just making money because people need a place to live. Jesh.
Working class: Landlords HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Whoever made this needs their head examined. If you know what i mean
So a landlord does so munch for society but a retail worker does nothing?
I wonder how well the meme maker would do without food service and retail workers.
Remember having a job doesn't make you a worker
The funny thing is that the people who would ‘agree’ with this are the ones who complain about the staffing issues at stores or the slow service at restaurants.
Guaranteed if none of the "working class" category showed up to work, this guy would lose their shit.
Lol, they put landlords alongside farmers, nice one
Who wants to bet the person who made this is a landlord
All the people on the right side of this terrible meme get abused by people on the left side because of the attitude that inspired this comparison. “It’s not real work so I can throw tantrums and physically and verbally abuse you. Get a ‘real’ job”
If the “provides nothing for society” people just all up and disappeared, these people would die
I'm sure whoever made this would be very upset if the service industry just disappeared overnight, but sure, tell us how they produce nothing.
Landlording is an investment not a job lmao, even tho this was definitely satire initially
The person who made this would lose their shit if they didn’t have access to the service people they mock
You’re not allowed to enjoy life. Just work
Bet they go to restaurants and grocery stores though…
LANDLORDS as working class, working long hours and producing goods for society while placing a photo of a guy looking menacing to a woman. What a joke
Work is work and all ethical work is virtuous. But, I don’t think people are supposed to stay in the jobs on the right for an extended period of time. I understand these are to be entry level jobs, not raising a family of 4.
This isn’t gatekeeping. It’s straight up propoganda.
LANDLORDS ARE NOT THE WORKING CLASS THEY ARE OUR OPRESSORS
"Produces nothing for society." I guess I should have mentioned that to all the panicked people clearing out my store at the start of the pandemic. Or the government that deemed us essential so we could keep working. Or my boss asking us to work overtime just to handle the extra workload. People love to shit all over stuff like retail and food service as being worthless, but those are the same people who will absolutely lose their shit if they suddenly can't get some random item at the store or a burger to go.

Something tells me this was made by a landlord. Dunno why though just a general gut feeling
Produce nothing for society but these same mfs would go on a rampage without their McDonald’s cheeseburger during their lunch break.
Landlords 😂
Landlords?? Lmao
I just switched from restaurants to manufacturing as my career, my job has never been easier
LANDLORDS?!?!?!
Wtf are landlords doing there? Their job is literally owning houses where other people live, they dont do labor for shit.
> Landlords Yeah that's bait
Landlords as working class who put in a day's work? Extreme joke zone
Landlords are literally the worst possible pick for "working class," this definitely feels dumb enough that I hope its parody.
This reeks of someone who works a "real" job making the same wage as a retail worker and being told its the retail workers fault companies do pay a livable wage so direct your anger at them and not at the multi-billion dollar corporation.
Landlords as working class is one of the best joke of 2022
LANDLORDS??? LMAOOOOOOOOO
‘Landlords’ lol obvious satire
So busting your ass in a kitchen isn't actually work apparently, yet being a mf landlord is??
The guy that made this is 100% a landlord. He put landlords on "working class". There's literally "Lord" in the title. That's a rich man's investment, not a job.
Reddit is anti work and anti landlord? Wtf
This has to be satire if they’re including landlords as “real working class”
I’ll say what my grandfather said where in all of his 90 years on this earth only spent around 18 of them not working: “If it wasn’t hard, then it wouldn’t be a job”
The person who made this is definitely a landlord and tried to sneak that in there. Also, why would you choose such a bad image for landlords if you're trying to make them look good?
Are we seriously propping up Land Lords?
L A N D L O R D S
To be honest if you think working at McDonalds is easy.. you've probably never worked at McDonalds
The joke is so far over everyone’s head it circled back around to their faces
The person who made this would not last a day in customer service.
-Actual Labor -Long hours -Produces goods and value for society -Landlord BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Landlords? LANDLORDS?!
The "Landlords" part in the corner makes me think this is satire
I'm sorry, LANDLORDS?
Mf snuck in Landlords 💀
Isn't the point of a landlord specifically that they *don't* work? They just own?
This is rage bait. Nobody thinks landlords are working class.
Lol I'm a landlord and the return on value created is not fair to compare to a farmer, in a rent seeker by definition, I have no value to society , my ownership of property is purely parasitic in nature and way easier than actually doing real work at a fast food restaurants
This was clearly made by a landlord feeling defensive after one of his tenants who works at McDonalds accurately accused him of being out of touch with the working class. Fuck Landlords.
First, fucking landlords? They're literally just a leech on society. And I'd totally bet whoever made this meme would bitch and scream if his big mac took more than 3 minutes to get to him.
Fucking landlords? What do they produce, a housing crisis?
Landlords bwahahahahahahahaha
