# the bullying cruelty of landlords talking about such vile creatures this evening with my significant other; how they love a steady source of parasitic blood sucking income from renters - and are actively willing to spend or invest a single goddamn penny on 'extravagances' like a working washing machine or default health and safety measures because if only we could have the rent without those pesky renters and ir constant annoying requests for stuff - like oxygen / no mold up the walls / a decent level of insulation against the elements so they don't freeze andor bake to death in ir overpriced rented shoebox hovels the simple common dream of 'having a decent place of one's own to call home' must be that of countless thousands of people suffering the poverty and social inequality of capitalist society every single day; why in a world of mind blowing technological and scientific achievements am i forced to exist in this utter dump of a freezing cold flat - endlessly paying out (ie being bled monthly) for something that should be instantly accessible to everyone by default: a decent home and say if by some major miracle i happen to 'make it' under capitalism - finally get a warm dry non leaking roof over my head - that still leaves the question of where that leaves everyone else; all those countless talented fellow artists suffering the innate poverty of a society hell bent on nothing but utter selfishness and insane greed what humans need is a total revolution-mutation in human consciousness itself; a fundamental change in the very process called 'thought' which has brought inhumanity to its awful current position - once again to the brink of total destruction it's not just a house of my own i need but a radical change of heart (ie mind) // republic of bob
