Now consider this:
If you rent, to a human landlord (let's avoid a corporate landlord), the the money you give each month is used by a human person, probably for good things, like buying products you or your brother are making.
on the other hand, if you borrow money from a bank to buy, you're giving money (at least the interests, but they may make up an significant part of the price for long term borrowing), to a BANK, which will use this money to further enslave you and other human being, provoking ecnonomic crisis, and gaining political and ecnonomic control everywhere.
This is a prisoner dilema; renting is harder, but it is better for the humans as a whole.
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoIf you rent from a human landlord, there is a pretty good chance that rent is going directly into the interest of a loan. I.E. a bank. And not the good stuff you or your brother are making.
- javert 13y agoReal power is backed by force. Economic "power" is not real power. "But what about the poor guy who has no choices and HAS to take that shitty job and can only get an account from that one shitty bank (BoA, for example) that abuses its customers?" That just doesn't happen in a healthy, developed free market. There ARE lots of choices. What we have is very far from that. A few big banks function as government bureaus. Ultimately, they DO have force backing them.
