16,000,000 empty homes, 580,000 homeless people
Eat the rich. Take their stuff.
We’ve got about 3k homeless out of a population of around 480k. The vacancy rate is under 1% because of all the short-stay scumbags. We really do need to start confiscating short stay property.
…mate we’re talking about Australia here. Stop using US details

Ah yes, squatters are known to only squat in rich people’s homes, and are known to take good care of homes instead of letting them rot.
Good point, I guess we should just let the homes remain empty and the homeless on the streets?
I get that having your home squatted in sucks, and if you were only out for a week long vacation and come back to a break in then you have my sympathy, but the message here is ultimately pointing out that houses have been commodified and turned into vehicles for investing by the rich, rather than a right like they should be. We have more empty homes than homeless people, and that simply isn’t just.
How about we meet in the middle and let homeless stay in houses owned by corporations
Eat the rich. Take their stuff. Become the new rich! Worked out swimmingly for Putin!
Why do we need rich and poor when we are all disgusting bags of meat?
Meat bag equality.
Disgusting bags of meat who fight for dominance. Why do people insist on pretending that natural selection stopped with modern society?
Because a big portion of humanity realized that having access to all these resources means we don’t need to hoard them anymore but a bunch of smooth brained monkeys don’t wanna play ball. And despite being told by everyone else they refuse to even entertain the idea so now it’s time for them to be tarred and feathered and their precious gold melted down and poured down their throats
No! We never realized that! People ALWAYS say one thing when they’re poor and the opposite when they become rich. The “Monopoly study” bears this out. Studies on workplace satisfaction and relative vs available income bear it out.
We are ALL smooth brained monkeys and we’re not going to solve our problems until we admit it and start working on a system that takes that into account.
Screaming “eat the rich!” is just continuing the cycle. Orwell realized this 75 years ago. Countless people have read his writing and yet we still have this tribal foolishness!
That’s why government should restrict individuals making enough money to warp society or the commons beyond their single vote through things like progressive taxation that incentivizes instead reinvesting the money that would be taken as profit taxed at 95% beyond excessive thresholds into the business/employees/community. We had reasonable tax rates once, though even then enforcement was lacking, then we let the foxes buy the hen house rule makers in the 70s and 80s without dragging them out in the street as we should have for attempting it, and now this country needs to collapse before there can be any hope for the people.
Hoarding capital is antisocial, and should be illegal. Illegal large scale capital hoarding should be punishable by incarceration, as greed is more effectively destructive than even hatred.
Letting individuals collect hundreds of millions/billions of dollars in capital when others struggle to survive makes as much sense as allowing individuals to tinker with atomic bomb tech in their garage. Capital is power over others. If making enough to own 3 houses, 6 cars, and a boat aren’t enough incentive for someone, if they need enough for their own space program, they need therapy, not enablers.
Strange. Seems social bonds have been the real winner in human’s selection process.
What makes you think it’s the opposite?
Dunbar’s number.
