America is not the only place in the world. In places without mass corporate landlords, private landlords happily fill that void and are absolutely still the problem.

Show me a landlord that genuinely finds efficiencies that arent just 'hire a cheaper contractor than they would hire for their own home'.

This is the first time I've ever actually intentionally saved a comment on Lemmy or Reddit.

No they don't. They've been profiting off of doing no work for decades. They can sell their cottage if that's what it takes for their tenants to have a single reasonable home.

The French Revolution didn't prevent the rise of French billionaires.

You're missing the actual issue at play.

That has literally nothing to do with not believing women, and everything to do with buying into a cult.thagvis not an instance of people not believing women, thats a case of people politically othering those women (or men, or whoever) so much that they would always defend their teammate.

Every non-ideologue believed those women, including conservatives in other countries that aren't in a trump cult.

I'm pretty sure half these articles are issued by the companies themselves just to get people outraged and talking about this, just so that they can test the waters and see how many people will defend it.

You haven't actually proven anything, you've just modelled a possible scenario.

The point is that no publisher demanded anything.

The developers made the game they wanted and launched it and didn't go the way they wanted.

Splitgate was always a multiplayer only shooter though.

It requires not allowing the police to be outgunned by terrorists.

Notice that it was after the LA bank robbery in the 90s, where two guys had tons of body armour and military rifles and outgunned the LAPD with their 6 shooters, that you suddenly saw every single police force across the country militarize and buy assault rifles, body armour, and APCs.

Notice how in the UK their cops still patrol without guns.

The state will always maintain a monopoly on the top level of violence. The idea of gun ownership to oppose the state is laughable. Notice: right now, no gun owners using them to oppose the state.
