    No no, it’s not just landlords, remember? Homeowners too!

    I just don’t think my mom should be dragged into the street and fucking shot because she “bought a house in 1996.” If you were really about the proletariat you would shoot the bank owner so her mortgage would be paid off (well, as if that would work, but it’s at least closer.) You’re just a poser, pose harder.

      No one ever mentioned homeowners unless they owned more than one and by definition, that makes them landlords. If your mother really owns one house and has been struggling to pay it off for close to 30yrs, don’t you think you’re in the wrong for defending the class of people who bought out everything and had to make her take out a mortgage in the first place, one she may never end paying?

      The pig-man depicted in the picture is a caricature for landlords and homeowners with more than a significant one and the homeless folks are not even claiming the place, they’re just trying to live off the lands

      I’m assuming you stand to inherit the place from her, probably because you’ll never be able to buy your own place since the landlords you’re defending bought everything and you are scared that Red Communists would come after you for that, calm down, it’s just one house, the overlord-landlords would probably buy it from you for a pittance and throw into the streets, those red communists would never get to you for owning a house

      a lot of assumptions above as I don’t really know you or what you think you stand to gain by defending a class of pigs

        No-one ever mentioned landlords, either. That’s the whole point. This comic, as it stands, simply defends fighting people who own land.

      It has nothing to do with homeowners. Homeowners actually paid for their land and are probably indebted to a bank in the form of a mortgage.

      Nobles who own estates did not do that, they probably have a carve out in the state constitution and obtained their land by inheriting it from their ancestors (and being exempt from an estate tax).

      In fact, the current British estate tax states:

      Inheritance Tax is a tax on the estate (the property, money and possessions) of someone who’s died.

      There’s normally no Inheritance Tax to pay if either:

      the value of your estate is below the £325,000 threshold you leave everything above the £325,000 threshold to your spouse, civil partner, a charity or a community amateur sports club
