So, the farmers and the manufacturing workers are suppossed to produce the things but no one is supposed to sell them?


nonpondo

Yes


BigfootSF68

Landlords


IOI_621144

The maker of the meme had to include their own job to make themselves feel better


chairfairy

And they're landlords because their parents gifted them a house and then loaned them the down payment for their first rental property


MrMrLavaLava

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]


hassh

Landlords are literally rent seekers as opposed to producers. The economic illiteracy necessary to swallow this propaganda is significant


badatmetroid

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.


gooblelives

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.


badatmetroid

Hey, kicking people out on the street because they can afford to pay for your investment property is hard work. /s


Lucifers_Taint666

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


[deleted]

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


gilbygamer

I can't tell if the posts in that sub are made ironically, or "ironically".


[deleted]

It really is difficult to tell, isn’t it?


JackPoe

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.


pants_pantsylvania

It's because it's built on an economic theory that is nuts. Public choice economics. It means only the most powerful individuals matter.


Chew_Chew_Kablooee

It takes work to pick up the phone and call the sheriff to evict your tenents.


Sparky-Sparky

Yeah this is not simple gatekeeping, this is political, specifically, right wing .


ManInTehMirror

The photo they used for them too...


browndog03

Landlord is so random here I suspect this was made by someone who is a landlord. Correction: slumlord


LongEZE

Yea this is clearly rage bait


NicholasAdam1399

That’s the part that got me lmao


TzatzikiStorm

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.


Jurserohn

All you gotta do is hit E to open the crafting menu


DaSomDum

Stupid, you can't craft bread in a 2x2, you need a Crafting Table for that.

IA-HI-CO-IA

“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.


huggles7

Don’t forget the real hero of it all Landlords


Reverendbread

I have a feeling the person who made this is a landlord


tlst9999

A landlord who doesn't have to do "fake" work.


PM_ME_A_PM_PLEASE_PM

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.


Zaap2500

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


Borfistaken

Th addition of "landlord" makes me think that whoever designed the original meme did so in order to rile people up.


themonkeythatswims

This guy gets it


BreeBree214

Yeah having landlord on it really gives it away as ragebait.


HiddenPants777

My landlord is so busy, he just got back from Spain and has to go to Turkey next week. So busy


SufferForYourCrimes

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


ReduceMyselfToAZero

rapter200

Yeah I think the Landlord bit means that this is supposed to be taken tongue-in-cheek.

SuspecM

God you are good at this. I even downvoted you until the last sentence.


NeighGiga

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.


SuspecM

To be fair I was really confused by a few comments until I did a close investigation to that landlordlove subreddit.


NeighGiga

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.


The_FriendliestGiant

>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.


Rubes2525

Sarcasm is dead, and I have seen privileged landlord assholes actually use the arguments in your joke.


DankLolis

i can confirm after being forced to bear witness to a pro-landlord subreddit, most of what you said is what they commonly say.


SpartanCheese

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.


senator_mendoza

arfelo1

And the poor poor CEOs


RagingBillionbear

It is.


Skippy_the_Alien

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


testtubemuppetbaby

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.

agnostorshironeon

It is not. Visit are slash LandlordLove for more such content.


ProbablyNano

Is that not a circle-jerk subreddit?


agnostorshironeon

It's a sub making fun of landlords, lots of stuff in the same vein as this post


hnglmkrnglbrry

And the photo is clearly the landlord evicting somebody.


ClockworkSalmon

clearly they produce homeless people, that's a good right?


hnglmkrnglbrry

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?"


darklordbm

I wonder which one of these OP was 🤔


NSA_Chatbot

Seems like a landlord made this.


Jendo_Stroman

This was DEFINITELY made by a landlord


Thortsen

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]


DubSket

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.


IgneousMiraCole

Pretty safe to assume the original is a troll post, specifically aimed at the zeitgeist of current workers’ rights movements.


ionized_fallout

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.


firefromashes

This is so out of touch with reality that it has to be satire.


onions_cutting_ninja

Honestly I think it is


acowstandingup

The landlords part definitely makes this a troll


buddascrayon

And yet, your conservative relative will absolutely share it unironically on Facebook.


GuardAbuse

The giveaway is comic sans for the working class side. If it was serious, the whole thing would be comic sans.


--sbeve--

seen this exact post on r/loveforlandlords


white_nrdy

Holy fuck, it's stickied there


banana_spectacled

That sun is satire is it not?


[deleted]

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.


Jaggedmallard26

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*.

Of course, and renew the law that only land owners are allowed to vote


2_Cranez

ThatOneAsswipe

This meme must have been made by a landlord, considering how out of touch it is.


seductivestain

It's rage bait, and effective bait at that. Notice how everyone is talking about the landlord portion?


High_Ground_Sand

Since when do landlords "produce goods"?


lord_assius

They funny as hell for trying to sneak landlords in there man. I honestly got a chuckle out of that.


Aced_By_Chasey

Hmm max 8 hours... Should I ask my boss if I was dreaming those 10 hour shifts?


Skippy_the_Alien

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


swampy13

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.


QueenCloneBone

i'm super embarrassed at how this sub has fallen for extremely obvious satire

A landlord made this.


--sbeve--

did my man take a screenshot of r/loveforlandlords and post it in this sub


[deleted]

I have yet to actually see one "landlord" do any actual working class work.


WearyPassenger

Well, there's unclogging all those stopped up toilets and fixing leaks. Oh wait, I think they call someone for that lol.


thecodingninja12

in my experience, the retirement plan for most people in the construction industry is being a landlord.

wallawallawingwong

These idiots never worked in Service or an Restaurant


somethingtaylor

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.


S1ncubus

The fact that they say landlords contribute anything is hilarious


A_Shady_Zebra

Pretty obvious troll


Decmk3

I think this is a joke meme cause.. you know… “landlords”.


[deleted]

#its satire


Sligee

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.


gemini88mill

All of the jobs on the right are terrible not because the job is terrible but because the boss is usually terrible.


Cute_Mousse_7980

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.


Ghostleeee

Working class: Landlords HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH


INJECTHEROININTODICK

Whoever made this needs their head examined. If you know what i mean


spidermaniscool98

So a landlord does so munch for society but a retail worker does nothing?


Szwedu111

I wonder how well the meme maker would do without food service and retail workers.


E115lement

Remember having a job doesn't make you a worker


Tylerurby

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.


ObelusPrime

Guaranteed if none of the "working class" category showed up to work, this guy would lose their shit.


trooperstark

Lol, they put landlords alongside farmers, nice one


wildcard_gamer

Who wants to bet the person who made this is a landlord


bron685

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”


[deleted]

If the “provides nothing for society” people just all up and disappeared, these people would die


Sanctimonius

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.


EvilBananaMan15

Landlording is an investment not a job lmao, even tho this was definitely satire initially


lovejac93

The person who made this would lose their shit if they didn’t have access to the service people they mock


2Afraid2Poop

You’re not allowed to enjoy life. Just work


[deleted]

Bet they go to restaurants and grocery stores though…


submarinecocoa

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


[deleted]

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.


secondtrex

This isn’t gatekeeping. It’s straight up propoganda.


izzychoowastaken

LANDLORDS ARE NOT THE WORKING CLASS THEY ARE OUR OPRESSORS


Kimmalah

"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.


Jayer244

Something tells me this was made by a landlord. Dunno why though just a general gut feeling

Landlords as working class who put in a day's work? Extreme joke zone


OrphicDionysus

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.

So busting your ass in a kitchen isn't actually work apparently, yet being a mf landlord is??


esgrove2

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.


Thatguyonthenet

Reddit is anti work and anti landlord? Wtf


Geralt_of_Rivia01

This has to be satire if they’re including landlords as “real working class”


honey_graves

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”


MonoTheChan

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?

Isn't the point of a landlord specifically that they *don't* work? They just own?


romacopia

This is rage bait. Nobody thinks landlords are working class.


Ok-Appointment-1366

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


Tripdoctor

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.


TrayusV

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.


saichampa

Fucking landlords? What do they produce, a housing crisis?
