| 9 months ago | mod | Removed Comment I mean, the actual answer is "it's a complicated issue that needs more detailed scientific research to determine what is fair and what isn't, but at the current moment all major sporting bodies have already implemented their own rules specific to their sport which do their best to balance fairness and inclusivity, in ways that are too detailed for you to bother learning about. If you really want to learn how trans athletes are included in sport, you can read the rulebook of the particular league you are interested in - in most cases, you'll probably agree that it is pretty fair, assuming you understand the current research on hrt and sports performance. So stop worrying about this - it is already 90% handled and we'll be able to figure it out even better in the future." by blarghly@lemmy.world reason: trans inclusion everywhere including sports is not up for debate |
| 9 months ago | mod | Removed Comment I understand the sentiment, but if the OOP wasn't a member of the group being discussed with such a visceral attachment to the outcome of the discussion and we take a step back- it is ridiculous to spend so much time discussing participation of such a small group of people. For the record, I'm fully for trans athlete participation.
If we were discussing whether an individual born on a February 29th on a leap year could participate in sports for some stupid reason or another (well they're technically 4 years old we can't have them competing against 16 year olds! It's unsafe!) logical-minded people would recognize that's a ridiculous waste of energy to spend time regulating.
But for some reason when it comes to trans folks EVERYONE has an opinion against something that effects them not at all. I'm all for plentiful trans folk (or abolishing outdated gender norms altogether). by Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works reason: debatlord ass comment |

| 10 months ago | mod | Removed Comment Has there ever been, in the history of humanity, true sharing of all the good places to live? Even in cultures that considered land unownable, they weren't allowing other tribes or cultures to just come help themselves, without any resistance.
The recent story in LA of the squatters turning a backlot of new luxury RVs into a homeless encampment highlights the fact that a home isn't enough, you also need infrastructure to deal with waste. Also water/power/repairs and maintenance, but in this case it's the piles of filth that make this great little initiative solution into a problem.
I see OP wants an entire gift economy, which I suppose would negate my next point that the people who provide all the infrastructure, maintenance, and construction of homes deserve a fair wage, paid by someone... But in that case, are landlords the Dick Dastardly, or just another cog in the orphan-crushing machine?
Now, HEALTHCARE EXECUTIVES, which haven't even been mentioned so far, another story entirely! Free Luigi!

| 10 months ago | mod | Removed Comment Its an interesting form of debate where someone says, hey no bringing up X. Anyway it is hard to debate given your argument has to do with something that has limited supply. I mean if the people who owned property that could be rented don't then supply will even be more limited. It should not be. Im not sure why you would be looking specifically for nice landlords to come for first. Would they be heroes if they had property that could be rented out but did not rent it out so that they were not landlords? I personally would go for the corporate ones first and not at all for ones that live in the same place they rent. Here is the thing. I have had decent rental experiences and horrible ones and there is a general trend I see. Renting a unit in a flat where the owner lived in the flat and owned no other real estate. Every time it was wonderful. They will interview you more and have greater rights to kick you out, but they are more concerned with having a good neighbor and not losing money than with making massive profit. They will follow market rates somewhat but much more caustiously and if you are a good tenet they will not want to encourage you to leave as its a pain for them to find someone new who could be horrible. In addition they lived there and kept the place nice enough for them to live there. Now what I found is the more an individual or entity is in the rental biz the worse it gets. I have been in flats where someone owned several properties and did not live in the one I was in. Since they did not live there they were way less concerned about the property being a good living experience. They also were less concerned with turnover and more with profit. Just not wanting someone who destroyed the place and payed on time. Move up to apartment buildings and corporate landlords and profit is all they are concerned with. Every year the rent will go up till you leave and they won't do anything not legally mandated and you may have to get government offices to help you or outright sue to get that to happen. This is not unique to rental businesses. I actually recently came across this video about late covid on a restaurant that was closing. They guy said he could not find anyone to work. Here is the thing. He specifically could not find anyone to manage the restaurant and even mentioned all the kids that depended on it for a part time job. He also owned a catering biz which I assume had a hired manager. So basically even though it looks like a mom and pop shop he was just some guy who bought them up. Way different from people who buy and run a business which is a true small business. by HubertManne@piefed.social reason: landlord defender |
| 10 months ago | mod | Removed Comment No that's not true. I'm as anarchist as they come, and while *landownership* sucks and should be abolished, till then, there are good people making sure low-income folks can have a safe place to life. Not everyone has a path to home ownership, and renting is a necessity. You can't have renters without landlords.
*Slumlords*, however, who go out and make a profit off unsafe housing and don't provide basic services required of them, can hang.
Until we completely rearrange our basic modes of ownership and economy, landlords are going to exist. ACAB sure but not everyone who needs a house can buy one. by A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world reason: defending landlords |
| 10 months ago | mod | Removed Comment Sorry for the self plug, but I recently wrote a blog post where I tried to design a government structure that was aimed at exactly that: https://arendjr.nl/blog/2025/02/new-monarchy/
> I want better barriers that allow for meaningful change while preventing idiots from being elected and selling our country out to foreign billionaires and corporations.
The core idea is a split being the ruling class, who will have wealth but are disallowed personal property, and a citizen class that can dispose rulers but cannot put themselves up for election to prevent them from gaming the system.
Of course I cannot prove it’s actually better than current democracy, and I sure as hell wouldn’t suggest implementing without at least some more revisions from people with more political experience than me, but hey, maybe it provides some good ideas for a better structure. by arendjr reason: advocating for any form of monarchy and/or capitalism (including "reformed" capitalism) does not belong here under rule 2 |

Those who willingly cleave to their corruption aren't worth considering. Therefore, I'm willing to view those who treat others as subhuman, as subhuman. With the caveat that I'm using "subhuman" in the colloquial sense.
