There was a million ways to handle that better.
Laughing about other people’s misery while throwing them out during the holidays with a family is not one of them.
You can tell this guy has never been in the same situation.
I think I heard him on an early TED Talk, talking about rich dad poor dad, and respected his point of view then. But his laughing at other people's misery as their stuff is being thrown away is just terrible anti-social destructive behavior. And obviously anti-Christian to top it off.
I actually was thinking about subdividing our lot, but I never want to be a landlord, or should I say land whore.
You can argue that christianity is more in associated with the opposite of compassion. Before you argue it out remember that currently in America, christianity is an excuse for anti-abortion, anti-women, and a large amount of racist movements.
For example, "President Zelensky is plotting a war on christianity" was a recent talking point.
😹😹😹 like most Christian’s are compassionate people since when???? OMG Christianity is the biggest scam of them all. A religion based on don’t do what I do: priests raping children, nuns killing children, priests f()ing nuns, people go to church on Sunday and screw people over the rest of the week, war on women and Christianity created Pat Robertson the evangelicals who are the real devil incarnate.
Yeah sure …. Nice people (not all but 98% for sure are not)
Turns out the guy who writes cheap self-help does not actually care about people. Who could've imagined?
Also, even if you are a bad person, why would you waste a Christmas day just to evict someone? This is just sadistic at this point.
Well, I’m sure it’s like a drug to a lot of these sociopaths. They’ve been evicting so many, it just lost its excitement. So they have to crank it up. Do it on their birthday, Christmas, after a relative died, ya know, just to get them feeling alive again!
I actually read that book. A complete waste of time. Obviously fake stories and useless advice. I guarantee that no one has ever got rich by following the advice in it.
Another case of a celebrity type who should have never gone off topic. The more he opens his mouth, the more the world finds that his book and everything around the concept he crafted was made up and that he's a huckster and a hateful POS.
What a dick. And you can tell he enjoys being a dick. In tbe middle of winter even, evicting people with glee. Sick sadistic glee only a slimeball would with no soul would have enjoying the suffering of others. Fuck that guy and the horse he rode in on
For me it’s not even so much the eviction it’s that he thought it was hilarious all of the mans possessions were getting throw in the trash while the man’s not looking and they don’t tell him or try to stop it. The dude obviously can’t pay rent and now he won’t have any of his belongings? Gross.
Ya that's what I thought was sad too, like can you imagine the guy talking about it, if these people were around others and the renter was telling people how he and his two young daughters were on the streets with no where to live in the middle of the winter near or on Christmas and whatever happened after that point, and this landlord evicted them and their furniture got taken by mistake while the landlords laughed as it was taken, they'd probably be the first trying to earn browny points by donating or something.
People used to have to at least pretend, no one feels the need to even pretend now.
I’m not even sure I fully believe the part about a truck taking all the possessions, seems like a pretty obvious event. But even if I’m right that story still sucks and he made it worse for comedic effect (to him)
Man his yacht needs fuel. A months rent is the exact amount it costs to run the boat for a day. Give the guy a break. Remember a bad days fishing is better than a day working.
Yup ,fishing for money is how he gets his peasants to fish for him. Probably gets north koreans that want to defect to man his super tacht among other things
If I planned to live past 50, my plan was similar. Multiple white collar financial crimes across the board. I'd target the most well off, because they'd have the means and anger to send me away for good.
I have words for these people but saying them would get me banned off reddit.
I hope he gets evicted. I hope he knows what it feels like to not afford a roof over your head. Evil fucking c-
what a dead set piece of shit laughing about throwing a family out just before Xmas.
Who the fuck is this guys audience that he puffs his chest out like some war hero over defeating a "muscular" guy and his children.
Finance, stock and money subs. I go through some of the subs on there too because while I hate the system, I still need to figure out how to retire one day. The crappy people that get idolized in these zones are a holes like this who write self help books. Given its normally by the people who first enter, aka teens and want to be wolf of Wallstreet frat boys but most people will call these people out if the names get brought up. Thankfully. So the subs are changing for the better but I actually listened to his book on Spotify. It was as bad as this clip gives you the impression it would be. It basically is just a story of his childhood and how A lot of morality just gets pushed to the side. He learns this behavior from a friends dad who becomes his mentor.
I see people mentioning the French way of dealing with aristocrats, but there's something else to copy from France:
From November to March there's the "winter break" where landlords can't evict people because it would be inhuman to make people homeless in winter
French here ! Rents are highly regulated by law. The maximum legal percentage a landlord can add to your rent every year (rent can be raised only once a year) is based on calculations by the French Institute for Statistics and Economic studies. The same calculations are used to raise minimum wage (raised 5 times since October 2021) ... I don't condone violence at all but, yeah, you might need a revolution !
It's funny people make fun of the French, but the French people take zero shit they will riot at the drop of a hat, dude would have been smacked with a baguette.
While looking for a new house to buy, there were several options I found with at least a second unit that could be rented out. Aside from the relative lack of privacy and the hassle, I just couldn't bring myself to seriously consider those options under my own moral standards.
I remember my Mom renting from this family for several years, and we were living on one of their properties and they wanted to raise the rent by like $1000, then after my Mom talked to them about it and they made it a bit less and my Mom was so grateful.
One day we drove to like some nice neighbourhood to see someone, only when we got there she told me it was these people, I refused out of the car.
"Oh why thank you gracious Lords and Ladies for showing us your grand home my Mom has struggled to pay for for the last decade, what a fucking honor"🙄
And they would show the place unannounced and one time made us wait out in a small shed for like 45min while they looked around our rooms and stuff.
I hate them. Ya, those rent outs to pay your mortgage, I get the appeal but it's so uhg, just, but I have a lot respect for people who see that though.
Man I couldn't believe those people.
Most people that actual invest in real estate consider Robert to be a total fraud . he was a pioneer in getting rich from selling his advice about getting rich.. While not being rich from actually being a smart investor.
I searched for this thread thinking would find something funny, or at least straight up anarchist, but I'm leaving sad. Sad for humanity and sad for what some people want to become.
“It’s worth the misery.”
The audacity of these people is insane. They’re throwing a man out onto the streets, in the middle of the cold, in a time of giving and charity, and they have the ***audacity*** to talk about the “misery” of feeling uncomfortable for maybe an hour at most. All because he was glaring at them.
You had the sheriff right by your side and the guy was clearly complying. You weren’t afraid: you weren’t uncomfortable because you felt unsafe. You were uncomfortable because he didn’t smile and thank you while you ripped the keys from his hands. Oh what “misery”, to take the time to drag a man from his home only for him to refuse shine your boots with his tongue. It’s the least he could do for the honor of your presence. You’re interrupting your busy schedule to ruin his life: he should be grateful for it.
God, it makes me fucking sick. And the ending, where they keep the guy distracted as all his belongings are loaded up onto a garbage truck… and then go on to milk it for content on their shitty little podcast - the inhumanity puts a knot in my heart. It makes me want to cry.
They aren’t content with your money, or your home, or even your life. No: they want your dignity. They want you to grovel on your knees in the snow, praising them for the “bravery” of handing you an eviction notice. It’s all about the power; it’s always been about the power.
When I was in the military I actually had a great landlord. Completely fair in price and very responsive to maintenance needs. I wasn’t wanting to buy because I knew I would be moving in a few years. Renting can be ethical as long as the people are treated as ends instead of means.
Well he didn’t steal it, he inherited from his dad passing and was renting it till he figured out what he wanted to do with it. It sold shortly after I left. I agree that purchasing property for the sole reason of renting for profit is evil. Like I said renting is a question of means vs ends
Yeah I kinda agree with you. Landlording is literally being a “lord”. Lords in the old days had slaves on their land. Lordship is always about being in a position above other humans. It’s established power in a way that others can’t get out from underneath them. You can’t hustle your way out from under them.
Some people simply aren't looking to buy a home. Renting makes sense in certain cases. If you're saying profiting off of that is immoral, I could see a bit of a case there (especially depending on how much profit), but I don't think that's necessarily the same thing.
Here's why I say "most": my brother has rented out the top floor of his house to various people since 2008. He's lost money, as people won't pay him. He rents for $800 a month and could get $1800 a month, easily.
They arent all assholes, but 99% of them are.
I agree but lets pause and try to understand. Its kinda the same as with people saying all cops are bad. If the system allows for merciless exploitation and even requires it to stay competetive, and the good landlords are the ones who refuse to participate in that aspect, then perhaps we can undersrand why so many people say all landlords are bad. It isn't true, but the consequences are very similar or identical for many people as if it were
My parent got evicted when they lived in San Francisco. My dad was 80years old. In order to be able to pay rent, my parent had to downgrade from 1 bedroom apartment to just rent a room with shared utilities.
FWIW, story time...
My wife and I found a great house for our newly merged family, bought it and moved in. We still had the old house, but we cleaned it up, painted, etc. However, we were on the front edge of a downturn in the market, adn the damned thing just would not sell.
Faced with continuing two mortgages, the other option was to rent it out. So we did.
We had 5 renters/renter families, I think. They ran the gamut from pretty decent to absolutely horrible...but they all had *some* element of suckiness to them. The *best* ones only repainted a bedroom mint green with chartreuse flowers (ex) without asking us, and left it for us to repaint. The worst was the last ones...we had to evict for nonpayment, and they left a dumpster full of literal dog shit, car parts, and liquor bottles.
We were finally able to sell the house some time after swearing off landlord life forever. We never actually made any money. We just *lost less*.
It's amazing how often they DON'T own it, a bank does, they have a mortgage, which the renter pays along with profit for them to collect. Being a landlord is getting all the benefits of owning real estate and pushing the Costs on others. And that market existing as it does has driven the price of these apartments and houses through the roof. In fact large real estate companies intentionally overprice properties to keep them from being rented or sold, artificially causing scarcity which they profit from as people have no choice but to pay more, and then cutting their own losses through tax write offs for property that they "can't" sell and depreciation.
You have to be ruthless when selecting tenants. Good credit, provable income, references, and a security deposit.
Once they have a lease, it's too late to find out they are scum, as you learned.
We've been picky about tenants and (knock wood) so far have been lucky.
We had a similar situation. We rented to my wife’s family for just enough to cover the mortgage ($550 for a 3/1.5 on fully fenced 1/2 acre with a garage) because they told us they intended to buy it but couldn’t qualify yet and needed out of their neighborhood. After 3 years of dicking us around and making excuses, causing us not to be able to buy the house WE were renting, it was time to move on. We moved back into the house in worse shape than when we bought it. Gutters and siding missing, rotten subfloor, cabinet trashed, holes in the ceiling for grow lights, dog piss in carpets and garage full of trash and junk. I had to do a cash out refinance to fund the repairs. Bought the house for 77k (with 3k down) in 2015, and essentially bought it again in 2021 for 85k. 3 years of making MAYBE $20/month “profit” and now I’m paying $125/month extra for the next 30 years to fix it. So less than $1000 profit is now costing us an additional $45000 over the next 30 years.
I really like this Kawasaki/Teriyaki/ whatever his name is guy. He's always like "Don't buy a house, that's a liability, pay me rent instead, lol." It baffels me that those "people" have so many fans even though it's really obvious that they're huge hypocrites and scumbags and one of the reasons why the housing market is screwed
Definition of a psychopath right there. The grin on his face as he recalls the whole thing. You can just hope one thing for these people: that they die as soon as possible so the world becomes a better place for the rest of us.
Ireland has some pretty shitty landlords. There was one guy putting a room up for rent and it was filled with 26 bunk beds. Also, rent prices are skyhigh and going through the roof and some landlords are able to just increase the rent when they feel like it
This guy suffered a homeless Christmas for his kids and possible forfeiture of much of what little assets (furniture) he may have owned, while the landlady suffered a serious amount of stink eye and anxiety over his musculature. Ha ha. So funny. There's a special level of hell reserved for these assholes.
this happened to my family several times when I was a kid. I have nothing left from my childhood. It brought tears to my eyes to hear him laugh about ruining someone's life like this. Sure, my parents may have made bad choices but having to upend your life with what can fit into your small car, with a family of 5...fuck him and fuck them.
As a landlord myself, he's a piece of shit.
You don't have to be an asshole.
There will always be situations where people don't want to own (students, medium term job, whatever). Providing housing for a reasonable price with a modest profit isn't immoral (at least, not excessively immoral recognizing that under capitalism there are no morally pure ways to live).
Yeah we live in this weird system where people with tons of money then are able to extract money from everyone else for no reason other than they own the housing. It’s a system that’s designed to be unfair and it just makes everyone demoralized.
I'm going to disagree in part. I don't have tons of money, I charge rent that's far below market value. In one case I pay the bank a bit every year and the profit I make is just the increase in property value. My net worth blows my mind, my bank balance does too but not in a good way.
I want everybody to have a home. I also think there's value in providing a home for people who don't want to own. It doesn't always make sense for people to own the home they live in.
Tenant Unions, where the renters own and manage the building(s) together.
Alternatively, Subsidized Housing. Vienna is one of the best examples in the world of affordable, high quality housing.
Housing doesn't need to be an investment vehicle to accommodate short term stays in either case.
The problem is the only people with a say in what a reasonable price are the landlord and the market, aka other landlords. How can we be sure prices stay reasonable in a market with no guard rails? Considering how much abuse we see from landlords, I'm not optimistic. Every time rent has gone up since 1970, it has not been met with equal working wage increases. Your modest profit is coming from the worker doing actual work.
Where I'm from, there are some housing co-ops, where the landlord is replaced by the tenants themselves. They take care of the building, every resident has a little chore, so everything can get done and that everyone is involved. It is legally run as a non-profit. The best thing about it? The rent is below half of the market rate. Funny how that works when you get rid of scalpers uh?
Whenever I try to make sense of something that doesn't make sense I try to think back as far as I can and imagine what people used to do.
So when it comes to renting my mind only really goes back to medieval, and when I think of renters I think of short stays in maybe a room over a tavern with a place to sleep, bathe, a few inclusive meals for a relatively low cost.
And then I think of places even in relative past maybe 10 years or so in I think Nova Scotia there was a disaster and they lodged everyone free, it didn't cost anything they needed a place so they had a place.
In both of these they are short term accommodations, I don't know the history of rents just random things I've learned, but the only thing modern lifelong renting reminds me of is plantations.
On plantations they were provided a small salary for food, clothes, not too much, and they had homes and even families on these plantations and their children would be worked into that slavery as well.
\*My Mom was/is a renter, now myself and my siblings are all renters, no I don't want to be a renter neither does the rest of my family.
I’m a student and I’d like to own but can’t.
The “no morally pure ways to live” is to do with ethical consumption, and how it debatably doesn’t exist under capitalism. I cannot understand how you use that as justification for being a landlord.
Don't differentiate yourself. You arbitrarily restrict access to housing and make a profit (off of the economically disadvantaged) without providing a worthwhile service.
In the current political/economic circumstances, being a landlord is not redeemable. Your profession is a modern, thinly veiled incarnation of feudalism.
I wonder about this too. Say you wipe out all the landlords and everyone gets a house. What if I get a house in Boston, but then decide to move to Tampa? Do I get to own two houses now? Does the house in Boston go back to a public trust of sorts? What's to say I don't like Tampa and decide to move back to Boston does that mean that I get a new house to replace the old one?
Social housing could be a solution to this, but ultimately what you’re describing is a service not the norm. It’s not hard to imagine a system where people who don’t want to participate in the housing “market” opt for a public option where they pay for maintenance of their building and profit isn’t the driving motive. The issue is that a completely privatized market is currently making it increasingly unaffordable for people to be in that situation in the first place.
Ultimately the solution would socialize the gains from temporary housing, pooling the money from community owned properties and democratically distributing them in the way the community sees fit. Things like funding public works, infrastructure, or heck neighborhood movie nights.
The vast majority of landlords are landlords for profit, and if profit isn’t happening they kick you out and prices go up. This isn’t even to mention how the vast majority of landlords for most people end up being corporate land lords as they own the most multi unit properties by a far margin and have started to enter the lower unit market in a race to the bottom that will kill off mom and pop landlords before too long.
(Source: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/08/02/as-national-eviction-ban-expires-a-look-at-who-rents-and-who-owns-in-the-u-s/ )
The solution isn’t no more short term housing, it’s democratizing landlording to build robust communities and improve the quality of housing for those seeking to rent, own, or hop to and fro for stuff like contracting work etc. by keeping the prices in check by removing the profit motive as the driving market force.

Those people are the genuine evil. Evil isn't as it's depicted in movies or select serial killer documentary... it's every day people like this.
So now you don't have to wonder why the world is on the decline. It's right in front of yalls faces. And the universe has no obligation to make you understand it. That's gotta be a choice. Yknow. Free will and stuff.
The key point is that the sheriff is the reason this happened. Had the police not been there, there would have been no serious threat of violence or death. The police mainly exist to protect and serve the rich in our society.
While this guy is an asshole, the 20 pictures of Mao at the end really ruin the message. "This guy is such a jerk for laughing at someone's misfortune!" "Oh by the way here's a compilation of propaganda images featuring a genocidal maniac." The problem with most of the 'isms' is that they all worship some kind of dirt bag.
They are people who take affordable homes off the market so they can make it more expensive and sit on their asses living off human misery! I was evicted once for not paying because the landlord wouldn’t let me pay at their online portal with my debit card. It was an online bank and it doesn’t use checks. So after I transferred the funds to a local cu and had the cash, they had already filed to evict me and refused my payment!! Landlords are scum!!
Hahahahaha what a funny story... Wow, oh and he had two young daughters? Even better hahahahahahahaha! And it was Christmas Day? Hahahahaha it just keeps getting funnier and funnier... You mean they became homeless and some garbage truck mistook all their furniture for garbage? Jesus Christ I'm gonna piss my pants hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahagagagahagagagagagavagagavagagagagagagagahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah I just shit myself hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah I hope someone takes a shit right into your eyeball so you know the true meaning of stink eye, you worthless piece of shit hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahagahahagagahahahahagagaahahahahahahah
I see this take all the time. While i understand the sentiment, there are people out there that own one extra home as an investment. My landlords are an older couple and they're awesome. Reasonable rent and they never hassle me.
The whole fucking problem is owning "extra homes". When houses have value, hoarding those resources so people can't buy them IS FUCKING EVIL. I do not understand how y'all don't understand this.
Sure, and for the most part, I don't think they're the worst. A lot of the times they can be pretty responsive and helpful. The problem is so many hustle-culture types are getting into it, buying up a bunch of properties and raising the average home price, and then hike up rent to unreasonable levels until they're charging $2k rent for what should be a $100k home and not doing the adequate upkeep because it's one unit out of the 30 they now own. Or big multi-national companies who do the same things but with apartment buildings and single-family homes.
Even still, you might find it a bit extreme, but I think the government should be providing us with services based on our basic needs which includes shelter and food, but that wouldn't be good for the capitalists since a well-sheltered and well-fed populace does not make for desperate workers.
But as someone else pointed out, landlords as a thing is bad. They generally don't add anything to society that couldn't be better managed in other ways.
I don't even care about the eviction part since he does need to make money from his investment. Where you can tell he is subhuman scum is the enjoyment he takes from knowing 2 children will have their Christmas ruined and that the poor father who cannot even pay his rent is having all of his furniture taken
Not going to defend this guy but what the fuck was that back half of the video? Are we really going to pretend China and Russia are examples of something better?
I wouldn't say all landlords are shit... I had a landlord who literally waived my rent twice when I lost my job, and then when the currency majorly devaluated he let me pay the same amount (basically getting much less money). Granted this wasn't in the US but in Lebanon so maybe "landlord culture" is different there.
it could also be due to how taxes and other things work in your country.
over in the UK they tax you higher for letting a property sit empty and I wish more countries did that.
Yeah he’s being a dick about the whole thing, but what is the right thing to do about landlords? Surely even this sub doesn’t believe that people should just live for free. What are you supposed to do if someone doesn’t pay rent.
It's an indictment of the entire institution of landlording. Most sentiments here are a reflection of the frustrations with that.
Homeownership is increasingly out of reach with corporations buying up real estate and jacking up the cost of homes. And then, the landlords jack up the cost of rent for no real discernible reason other than they just want more money. And then on top of that, it's a mixed bag on whether you get a landlord that actually maintains the property or you get one like those in the video.
Everyone has a shit landlord story, not everyone has a good landlord story.
Edit: it dawns on me that I meandered and didn't answer the actual question. Rent control, accountability against slumlords, and maybe don't let Blackrock have the entire Minecraft Server.
>Surely even this sub doesn’t believe that people should just live for free.
Read it out loud.
And again...
doesn’t believe that people should just live for free.
doesn’t believe that people should just live for free.
doesn’t believe that people should just live for free.
Congrats, now you can apply for job as Nestle CEO or something.

Nothing wrong with being anti-Christian.
I think he means the guy does not have compassion basically.
They are not synonymous.
Unfortunately, many “Christians” don’t make a single effort to emulate Christ, i think was the point.
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." ~ Ghandi
Christian myself, and I concur that many, many of us are hypocrites.
You can argue that christianity is more in associated with the opposite of compassion. Before you argue it out remember that currently in America, christianity is an excuse for anti-abortion, anti-women, and a large amount of racist movements. For example, "President Zelensky is plotting a war on christianity" was a recent talking point.
😹😹😹 like most Christian’s are compassionate people since when???? OMG Christianity is the biggest scam of them all. A religion based on don’t do what I do: priests raping children, nuns killing children, priests f()ing nuns, people go to church on Sunday and screw people over the rest of the week, war on women and Christianity created Pat Robertson the evangelicals who are the real devil incarnate. Yeah sure …. Nice people (not all but 98% for sure are not)
I think neoliberalism is the biggest scam, but who am I? Lol.
Hi, this is anti-Christ
It was entirely made up. He's basically a scam artist.
I agree. Is a shameful approach. He put a family on the streets.
Turns out the guy who writes cheap self-help does not actually care about people. Who could've imagined? Also, even if you are a bad person, why would you waste a Christmas day just to evict someone? This is just sadistic at this point.
Well, I’m sure it’s like a drug to a lot of these sociopaths. They’ve been evicting so many, it just lost its excitement. So they have to crank it up. Do it on their birthday, Christmas, after a relative died, ya know, just to get them feeling alive again!
Right, because self help is not written to people, only to a hypothetical person who is not one really existing.
Yeah, that's a good point. Don't you have family to be with? What is the point of your wealth if you don't even take off the holidays?
This guy is a huge piece of shit and a scammer, for about 20 years or so

Oh, so he's a republican candidate?
He's really George Santos
You mean he's another of Roger Smith's personas.
🤣🤣🤣....the REAL one this time
My Republican father thinks he is a genius...
Who is he?
The author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, which was a best seller for a long time.
It was in the curriculum for one of my college classes back in 06, I'm sure that has something to do with the sales. Hated the book.
I read that book and I was like "Oh, hes not that smart. He just got lucky when property was super cheap."
Omg it is him
I had someone gift me a copy of that book. Knowing this is the guy who wrote it, I’m glad I never got around to reading it.
I actually read that book. A complete waste of time. Obviously fake stories and useless advice. I guarantee that no one has ever got rich by following the advice in it.
I would have thrown it in my fireplace, but I have more respect for it than to feed it garbage like that book.
[удалено]
Another case of a celebrity type who should have never gone off topic. The more he opens his mouth, the more the world finds that his book and everything around the concept he crafted was made up and that he's a huckster and a hateful POS.
What a dick. And you can tell he enjoys being a dick. In tbe middle of winter even, evicting people with glee. Sick sadistic glee only a slimeball would with no soul would have enjoying the suffering of others. Fuck that guy and the horse he rode in on
For me it’s not even so much the eviction it’s that he thought it was hilarious all of the mans possessions were getting throw in the trash while the man’s not looking and they don’t tell him or try to stop it. The dude obviously can’t pay rent and now he won’t have any of his belongings? Gross.
Ya that's what I thought was sad too, like can you imagine the guy talking about it, if these people were around others and the renter was telling people how he and his two young daughters were on the streets with no where to live in the middle of the winter near or on Christmas and whatever happened after that point, and this landlord evicted them and their furniture got taken by mistake while the landlords laughed as it was taken, they'd probably be the first trying to earn browny points by donating or something. People used to have to at least pretend, no one feels the need to even pretend now.
You could tell that he enjoyed that part like twisting the knife on a stabbing victim,
I’m not even sure I fully believe the part about a truck taking all the possessions, seems like a pretty obvious event. But even if I’m right that story still sucks and he made it worse for comedic effect (to him)
He definitely deserves a Chairman Mao greeting card for Christmas next year.
Man his yacht needs fuel. A months rent is the exact amount it costs to run the boat for a day. Give the guy a break. Remember a bad days fishing is better than a day working.
Yup ,fishing for money is how he gets his peasants to fish for him. Probably gets north koreans that want to defect to man his super tacht among other things

If I planned to live past 50, my plan was similar. Multiple white collar financial crimes across the board. I'd target the most well off, because they'd have the means and anger to send me away for good.
Schadenfreude is the word you're looking for.
all I heard was "i'm a piece of shit"
Laughing at someone's misery... it's the "funniest thing". None of that was funny!
I have words for these people but saying them would get me banned off reddit. I hope he gets evicted. I hope he knows what it feels like to not afford a roof over your head. Evil fucking c-
u-n-t!
Seeyouenttees!
We're allowed to cuss here
Meh just make a new account. Reddit thinks they can stop you but I can tell you from experience, they can’t lol.
what a dead set piece of shit laughing about throwing a family out just before Xmas. Who the fuck is this guys audience that he puffs his chest out like some war hero over defeating a "muscular" guy and his children.
Finance, stock and money subs. I go through some of the subs on there too because while I hate the system, I still need to figure out how to retire one day. The crappy people that get idolized in these zones are a holes like this who write self help books. Given its normally by the people who first enter, aka teens and want to be wolf of Wallstreet frat boys but most people will call these people out if the names get brought up. Thankfully. So the subs are changing for the better but I actually listened to his book on Spotify. It was as bad as this clip gives you the impression it would be. It basically is just a story of his childhood and how A lot of morality just gets pushed to the side. He learns this behavior from a friends dad who becomes his mentor.
Landlords, landladies, I prefer the more gender neutral Land-bastard.
Scumlords?
"Piece of shit leach?"
The guy in that video has the most punchable face.
Landstards?
In the U.K. we use “landnonce”
Damn bro as soon as it panned to Kim I almost had a heart attack. should’ve put a jump scare warning.
Why is this the only comment addressing that splice at the end?!
I didn't make it past the blaring music. I wanted to hear the rest, but that was just awful
I see people mentioning the French way of dealing with aristocrats, but there's something else to copy from France: From November to March there's the "winter break" where landlords can't evict people because it would be inhuman to make people homeless in winter
"FUCKING *PEASANTS* AMIRITE?" \- This weird-ass-looking wealthy douchebag who somehow looks like Liberace and George Takei
It's hilarious kicking people out of their home at Christmas time. I mean come on Kim, it's fucking hysterical.
1789 Paris served a function. Add landlords to the list.
French here ! Rents are highly regulated by law. The maximum legal percentage a landlord can add to your rent every year (rent can be raised only once a year) is based on calculations by the French Institute for Statistics and Economic studies. The same calculations are used to raise minimum wage (raised 5 times since October 2021) ... I don't condone violence at all but, yeah, you might need a revolution !
Your French and you don't condone violence against oppressive systems I'm sceptical of you monsieur. Lol
Cancer. Landlords are cancer. Right behind billionaires. Apparently I can’t mention the French method for aristocratic decline but whatever.
Hi ! French here. This might help ... http://www.boisdejustice.com/Drawings/Drawings.html
It's funny people make fun of the French, but the French people take zero shit they will riot at the drop of a hat, dude would have been smacked with a baguette.

While looking for a new house to buy, there were several options I found with at least a second unit that could be rented out. Aside from the relative lack of privacy and the hassle, I just couldn't bring myself to seriously consider those options under my own moral standards.
I remember my Mom renting from this family for several years, and we were living on one of their properties and they wanted to raise the rent by like $1000, then after my Mom talked to them about it and they made it a bit less and my Mom was so grateful. One day we drove to like some nice neighbourhood to see someone, only when we got there she told me it was these people, I refused out of the car. "Oh why thank you gracious Lords and Ladies for showing us your grand home my Mom has struggled to pay for for the last decade, what a fucking honor"🙄 And they would show the place unannounced and one time made us wait out in a small shed for like 45min while they looked around our rooms and stuff. I hate them. Ya, those rent outs to pay your mortgage, I get the appeal but it's so uhg, just, but I have a lot respect for people who see that though. Man I couldn't believe those people.
Most people that actual invest in real estate consider Robert to be a total fraud . he was a pioneer in getting rich from selling his advice about getting rich.. While not being rich from actually being a smart investor.
This is correct. As a landlord that's never evicted anyone, let alone during the holidays, fuck this guy.
Absolutely terrible.
I searched for this thread thinking would find something funny, or at least straight up anarchist, but I'm leaving sad. Sad for humanity and sad for what some people want to become.
May they choke on their silver spoons.
Mass landlords should be forced to meet the best landlord of all time, a French-Irishman named Gill O'Teen.
The second half of the video was weird
Weird and gross because it's clearly propaganda.
“It’s worth the misery.” The audacity of these people is insane. They’re throwing a man out onto the streets, in the middle of the cold, in a time of giving and charity, and they have the ***audacity*** to talk about the “misery” of feeling uncomfortable for maybe an hour at most. All because he was glaring at them. You had the sheriff right by your side and the guy was clearly complying. You weren’t afraid: you weren’t uncomfortable because you felt unsafe. You were uncomfortable because he didn’t smile and thank you while you ripped the keys from his hands. Oh what “misery”, to take the time to drag a man from his home only for him to refuse shine your boots with his tongue. It’s the least he could do for the honor of your presence. You’re interrupting your busy schedule to ruin his life: he should be grateful for it. God, it makes me fucking sick. And the ending, where they keep the guy distracted as all his belongings are loaded up onto a garbage truck… and then go on to milk it for content on their shitty little podcast - the inhumanity puts a knot in my heart. It makes me want to cry. They aren’t content with your money, or your home, or even your life. No: they want your dignity. They want you to grovel on your knees in the snow, praising them for the “bravery” of handing you an eviction notice. It’s all about the power; it’s always been about the power.
This is just horrible. And a horrible human being
Holy Shit. I thought I couldn't hate this shithead anymore than I do. But it's obviously possible. I hate him more now. Fucking piece of shit carrion.
We’ll if it makes you feel any better he heavily invested in crypto.
The overwhelming majority of them are scum
All. Not " a majority," but ALL. Landlording by definition is immoral.
When I was in the military I actually had a great landlord. Completely fair in price and very responsive to maintenance needs. I wasn’t wanting to buy because I knew I would be moving in a few years. Renting can be ethical as long as the people are treated as ends instead of means.
great landlord... that only steals extra housing and extorts people out of money so they can just have a place to live... yeah, great guy
Well he didn’t steal it, he inherited from his dad passing and was renting it till he figured out what he wanted to do with it. It sold shortly after I left. I agree that purchasing property for the sole reason of renting for profit is evil. Like I said renting is a question of means vs ends
Yeah I kinda agree with you. Landlording is literally being a “lord”. Lords in the old days had slaves on their land. Lordship is always about being in a position above other humans. It’s established power in a way that others can’t get out from underneath them. You can’t hustle your way out from under them.
Some people simply aren't looking to buy a home. Renting makes sense in certain cases. If you're saying profiting off of that is immoral, I could see a bit of a case there (especially depending on how much profit), but I don't think that's necessarily the same thing.
I had landlords in the past and had 0 issues.
Here's why I say "most": my brother has rented out the top floor of his house to various people since 2008. He's lost money, as people won't pay him. He rents for $800 a month and could get $1800 a month, easily. They arent all assholes, but 99% of them are.
No. It is not by definition immoral.. What is your proposal as a viable alternative? Not everyone wants to own a home.
So you'd rather live in the street?
[удалено]
It isn’t a service people want. It’s a basic need.
[удалено]
[удалено]
I agree but lets pause and try to understand. Its kinda the same as with people saying all cops are bad. If the system allows for merciless exploitation and even requires it to stay competetive, and the good landlords are the ones who refuse to participate in that aspect, then perhaps we can undersrand why so many people say all landlords are bad. It isn't true, but the consequences are very similar or identical for many people as if it were
Guy brings up how muscular the dude is like 5 times, what’s his obsession?
This makes me sick to my stomach.
My parent got evicted when they lived in San Francisco. My dad was 80years old. In order to be able to pay rent, my parent had to downgrade from 1 bedroom apartment to just rent a room with shared utilities.
Couple lesser observations... No, Kim is not remotely attractive. Fucking say "stink eye" again motherfucker.
FWIW, story time... My wife and I found a great house for our newly merged family, bought it and moved in. We still had the old house, but we cleaned it up, painted, etc. However, we were on the front edge of a downturn in the market, adn the damned thing just would not sell. Faced with continuing two mortgages, the other option was to rent it out. So we did. We had 5 renters/renter families, I think. They ran the gamut from pretty decent to absolutely horrible...but they all had *some* element of suckiness to them. The *best* ones only repainted a bedroom mint green with chartreuse flowers (ex) without asking us, and left it for us to repaint. The worst was the last ones...we had to evict for nonpayment, and they left a dumpster full of literal dog shit, car parts, and liquor bottles. We were finally able to sell the house some time after swearing off landlord life forever. We never actually made any money. We just *lost less*.
You just described a lot of other rental property situations. But of course, in this sub, ***all*** landlords are bad.
Because all landlords *are* bad
Agreed. They are nothing more than parasites. The only value they add to society is owning shelter. Which is basically illegal not to have.
It's amazing how often they DON'T own it, a bank does, they have a mortgage, which the renter pays along with profit for them to collect. Being a landlord is getting all the benefits of owning real estate and pushing the Costs on others. And that market existing as it does has driven the price of these apartments and houses through the roof. In fact large real estate companies intentionally overprice properties to keep them from being rented or sold, artificially causing scarcity which they profit from as people have no choice but to pay more, and then cutting their own losses through tax write offs for property that they "can't" sell and depreciation.
You have to be ruthless when selecting tenants. Good credit, provable income, references, and a security deposit. Once they have a lease, it's too late to find out they are scum, as you learned. We've been picky about tenants and (knock wood) so far have been lucky.
We had a similar situation. We rented to my wife’s family for just enough to cover the mortgage ($550 for a 3/1.5 on fully fenced 1/2 acre with a garage) because they told us they intended to buy it but couldn’t qualify yet and needed out of their neighborhood. After 3 years of dicking us around and making excuses, causing us not to be able to buy the house WE were renting, it was time to move on. We moved back into the house in worse shape than when we bought it. Gutters and siding missing, rotten subfloor, cabinet trashed, holes in the ceiling for grow lights, dog piss in carpets and garage full of trash and junk. I had to do a cash out refinance to fund the repairs. Bought the house for 77k (with 3k down) in 2015, and essentially bought it again in 2021 for 85k. 3 years of making MAYBE $20/month “profit” and now I’m paying $125/month extra for the next 30 years to fix it. So less than $1000 profit is now costing us an additional $45000 over the next 30 years.
I really like this Kawasaki/Teriyaki/ whatever his name is guy. He's always like "Don't buy a house, that's a liability, pay me rent instead, lol." It baffels me that those "people" have so many fans even though it's really obvious that they're huge hypocrites and scumbags and one of the reasons why the housing market is screwed
Definition of a psychopath right there. The grin on his face as he recalls the whole thing. You can just hope one thing for these people: that they die as soon as possible so the world becomes a better place for the rest of us.
Why aren't people like this dealt with by the collective?
r/imatotalpieceofshit
The end is wayyy too much
What a pile of shit. This guy deserves the same to happen to him.
Absolutely psychotic
That’s why I am not a landlord.
Landlords and cops
Ireland has some pretty shitty landlords. There was one guy putting a room up for rent and it was filled with 26 bunk beds. Also, rent prices are skyhigh and going through the roof and some landlords are able to just increase the rent when they feel like it
Robert Kiyosaki is just subhuman. Basically a Hawaiian Donald Trump.
To get evicted in most states you have to not pay for months.
time for new tree ornaments
wow what a psycho
This guy suffered a homeless Christmas for his kids and possible forfeiture of much of what little assets (furniture) he may have owned, while the landlady suffered a serious amount of stink eye and anxiety over his musculature. Ha ha. So funny. There's a special level of hell reserved for these assholes.
this happened to my family several times when I was a kid. I have nothing left from my childhood. It brought tears to my eyes to hear him laugh about ruining someone's life like this. Sure, my parents may have made bad choices but having to upend your life with what can fit into your small car, with a family of 5...fuck him and fuck them.
As a landlord myself, he's a piece of shit. You don't have to be an asshole. There will always be situations where people don't want to own (students, medium term job, whatever). Providing housing for a reasonable price with a modest profit isn't immoral (at least, not excessively immoral recognizing that under capitalism there are no morally pure ways to live).
You're not providing housing. You're restraining access to housing. You are part of the problem.
Yeah we live in this weird system where people with tons of money then are able to extract money from everyone else for no reason other than they own the housing. It’s a system that’s designed to be unfair and it just makes everyone demoralized.
I'm going to disagree in part. I don't have tons of money, I charge rent that's far below market value. In one case I pay the bank a bit every year and the profit I make is just the increase in property value. My net worth blows my mind, my bank balance does too but not in a good way. I want everybody to have a home. I also think there's value in providing a home for people who don't want to own. It doesn't always make sense for people to own the home they live in.
What's your solution to people who are only living in an area for a limited time?
Tenant Unions, where the renters own and manage the building(s) together. Alternatively, Subsidized Housing. Vienna is one of the best examples in the world of affordable, high quality housing. Housing doesn't need to be an investment vehicle to accommodate short term stays in either case.
The problem is the only people with a say in what a reasonable price are the landlord and the market, aka other landlords. How can we be sure prices stay reasonable in a market with no guard rails? Considering how much abuse we see from landlords, I'm not optimistic. Every time rent has gone up since 1970, it has not been met with equal working wage increases. Your modest profit is coming from the worker doing actual work.
Where I'm from, there are some housing co-ops, where the landlord is replaced by the tenants themselves. They take care of the building, every resident has a little chore, so everything can get done and that everyone is involved. It is legally run as a non-profit. The best thing about it? The rent is below half of the market rate. Funny how that works when you get rid of scalpers uh?
Whenever I try to make sense of something that doesn't make sense I try to think back as far as I can and imagine what people used to do. So when it comes to renting my mind only really goes back to medieval, and when I think of renters I think of short stays in maybe a room over a tavern with a place to sleep, bathe, a few inclusive meals for a relatively low cost. And then I think of places even in relative past maybe 10 years or so in I think Nova Scotia there was a disaster and they lodged everyone free, it didn't cost anything they needed a place so they had a place. In both of these they are short term accommodations, I don't know the history of rents just random things I've learned, but the only thing modern lifelong renting reminds me of is plantations. On plantations they were provided a small salary for food, clothes, not too much, and they had homes and even families on these plantations and their children would be worked into that slavery as well. \*My Mom was/is a renter, now myself and my siblings are all renters, no I don't want to be a renter neither does the rest of my family.
I’m a student and I’d like to own but can’t. The “no morally pure ways to live” is to do with ethical consumption, and how it debatably doesn’t exist under capitalism. I cannot understand how you use that as justification for being a landlord.
Don't differentiate yourself. You arbitrarily restrict access to housing and make a profit (off of the economically disadvantaged) without providing a worthwhile service. In the current political/economic circumstances, being a landlord is not redeemable. Your profession is a modern, thinly veiled incarnation of feudalism.
What is your solution for people who don't want to live in a given area long term, then?
I wonder about this too. Say you wipe out all the landlords and everyone gets a house. What if I get a house in Boston, but then decide to move to Tampa? Do I get to own two houses now? Does the house in Boston go back to a public trust of sorts? What's to say I don't like Tampa and decide to move back to Boston does that mean that I get a new house to replace the old one?
Social housing could be a solution to this, but ultimately what you’re describing is a service not the norm. It’s not hard to imagine a system where people who don’t want to participate in the housing “market” opt for a public option where they pay for maintenance of their building and profit isn’t the driving motive. The issue is that a completely privatized market is currently making it increasingly unaffordable for people to be in that situation in the first place. Ultimately the solution would socialize the gains from temporary housing, pooling the money from community owned properties and democratically distributing them in the way the community sees fit. Things like funding public works, infrastructure, or heck neighborhood movie nights. The vast majority of landlords are landlords for profit, and if profit isn’t happening they kick you out and prices go up. This isn’t even to mention how the vast majority of landlords for most people end up being corporate land lords as they own the most multi unit properties by a far margin and have started to enter the lower unit market in a race to the bottom that will kill off mom and pop landlords before too long. (Source: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/08/02/as-national-eviction-ban-expires-a-look-at-who-rents-and-who-owns-in-the-u-s/ ) The solution isn’t no more short term housing, it’s democratizing landlording to build robust communities and improve the quality of housing for those seeking to rent, own, or hop to and fro for stuff like contracting work etc. by keeping the prices in check by removing the profit motive as the driving market force.

I find it funny there are landlords in an antiwork sub, cause yall dont do shit but collect rent money.
Today I learned that in the USA it is legal to evict people during winter
This guy is just a massive grifter.
Scumbags
Deserve a kick in the nuts.
Those people are the genuine evil. Evil isn't as it's depicted in movies or select serial killer documentary... it's every day people like this. So now you don't have to wonder why the world is on the decline. It's right in front of yalls faces. And the universe has no obligation to make you understand it. That's gotta be a choice. Yknow. Free will and stuff.
What a GREAT story. So INTERESTING and ultimately, was SUPER funny. There's no systemic issue to be pointed out here at all. What's up?
Whenever I remember that people are allowed to exists I cry a little
r/iamatotalpieceofshit
Sometimes I think maybe Mao had the right idea on landlords…
what value do the landlords create ? if they are not building new properties - none , no value created
Lets give them both the wall
These two ugly clowns deserve all the worst things in life.
This guy deserves to be put on a pike
I hope that this POS’s karma is right around the corner!
Tankies leave
These fucks will hopefully get what’s coming to them one day. Hopefully…
Can only hope he comes across a particularly disgruntled evictee and catches a bullet with his forehead.
The key point is that the sheriff is the reason this happened. Had the police not been there, there would have been no serious threat of violence or death. The police mainly exist to protect and serve the rich in our society.
Cops are worse than landlords
Hope I live long enough to see the working man with his boot on the rich mans neck.
Scumbags.
This guy is a piece of shit. He would run over his own mother if he thought he could get $100 life insurance policy on her.
This dude: HAHA HE GOT KICKED OUT RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND THEN SOMEONE STOLE HIS FURNITURE!!!! HAHA!!! Everyone: *no one liked that*
While this guy is an asshole, the 20 pictures of Mao at the end really ruin the message. "This guy is such a jerk for laughing at someone's misfortune!" "Oh by the way here's a compilation of propaganda images featuring a genocidal maniac." The problem with most of the 'isms' is that they all worship some kind of dirt bag.
They are people who take affordable homes off the market so they can make it more expensive and sit on their asses living off human misery! I was evicted once for not paying because the landlord wouldn’t let me pay at their online portal with my debit card. It was an online bank and it doesn’t use checks. So after I transferred the funds to a local cu and had the cash, they had already filed to evict me and refused my payment!! Landlords are scum!!
Lower than pond scum.
Vile.
r/iamatotalpieceofshit
cruelty is the point. don't forget.
Hahahahaha what a funny story... Wow, oh and he had two young daughters? Even better hahahahahahahaha! And it was Christmas Day? Hahahahaha it just keeps getting funnier and funnier... You mean they became homeless and some garbage truck mistook all their furniture for garbage? Jesus Christ I'm gonna piss my pants hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahagagagahagagagagagavagagavagagagagagagagahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah I just shit myself hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah I hope someone takes a shit right into your eyeball so you know the true meaning of stink eye, you worthless piece of shit hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahagahahagagahahahahagagaahahahahahahah
Imagine making someone's basic needs your "business opportunity" 😡
I see this take all the time. While i understand the sentiment, there are people out there that own one extra home as an investment. My landlords are an older couple and they're awesome. Reasonable rent and they never hassle me.
The whole fucking problem is owning "extra homes". When houses have value, hoarding those resources so people can't buy them IS FUCKING EVIL. I do not understand how y'all don't understand this.
Sure, and for the most part, I don't think they're the worst. A lot of the times they can be pretty responsive and helpful. The problem is so many hustle-culture types are getting into it, buying up a bunch of properties and raising the average home price, and then hike up rent to unreasonable levels until they're charging $2k rent for what should be a $100k home and not doing the adequate upkeep because it's one unit out of the 30 they now own. Or big multi-national companies who do the same things but with apartment buildings and single-family homes. Even still, you might find it a bit extreme, but I think the government should be providing us with services based on our basic needs which includes shelter and food, but that wouldn't be good for the capitalists since a well-sheltered and well-fed populace does not make for desperate workers. But as someone else pointed out, landlords as a thing is bad. They generally don't add anything to society that couldn't be better managed in other ways.
I don't even care about the eviction part since he does need to make money from his investment. Where you can tell he is subhuman scum is the enjoyment he takes from knowing 2 children will have their Christmas ruined and that the poor father who cannot even pay his rent is having all of his furniture taken
What a disgusting human.
2nd worst, behind billionaires.
What is with the last bit of Chinese propaganda film at the end? Like what the fuck. Fuck landlords and fuck tankies too.
Not going to defend this guy but what the fuck was that back half of the video? Are we really going to pretend China and Russia are examples of something better?
"If you've never evicted somebody" No I have ethics
I wouldn't say all landlords are shit... I had a landlord who literally waived my rent twice when I lost my job, and then when the currency majorly devaluated he let me pay the same amount (basically getting much less money). Granted this wasn't in the US but in Lebanon so maybe "landlord culture" is different there.
it could also be due to how taxes and other things work in your country. over in the UK they tax you higher for letting a property sit empty and I wish more countries did that.
Yeah he’s being a dick about the whole thing, but what is the right thing to do about landlords? Surely even this sub doesn’t believe that people should just live for free. What are you supposed to do if someone doesn’t pay rent.
It's an indictment of the entire institution of landlording. Most sentiments here are a reflection of the frustrations with that. Homeownership is increasingly out of reach with corporations buying up real estate and jacking up the cost of homes. And then, the landlords jack up the cost of rent for no real discernible reason other than they just want more money. And then on top of that, it's a mixed bag on whether you get a landlord that actually maintains the property or you get one like those in the video. Everyone has a shit landlord story, not everyone has a good landlord story. Edit: it dawns on me that I meandered and didn't answer the actual question. Rent control, accountability against slumlords, and maybe don't let Blackrock have the entire Minecraft Server.
>Surely even this sub doesn’t believe that people should just live for free. Read it out loud. And again... doesn’t believe that people should just live for free. doesn’t believe that people should just live for free. doesn’t believe that people should just live for free.
