Also if buying isn't owning than wtf did I buy. In any other time period this corporate shit would be considered a scam.

You didn't buy anything, we rent now...

Landlords everywhere, even on the internet... It's disgusting. They get to own, we get to borrow...

So to OP, it's still stealing as they own everything, we just rent. Fucking scam for sure :(

At the risk of sounding like a landlord here, there are far wealthier people to be disgusted by.

Gates quietly buying as much arable land as he can in the world.

False dichotomy, I'm disgusted by both.

Yeah, I think it's backwards to still focus our ire on "landlords" when it's oligarch (yes, some of whom are also landlords) that are the real enemy.

In modern society, many landlords are just middle-class folks who bought an apartment building as their retirement fund.
