    Evictions are violence. All landlords and cops are bastards.

    Is that so?

          Cops and landlords are not all people, unless I’m misreading this thread, that was my point.

            So… let’s summarize:

            You dehumanize people who dehumanize…

            And you’re the good guy?

            ROFL!

            Again - blanket statements make you look foolish. I expect to see a Nazi comparison any moment now.

              I don’t do any of this, I only jumped in to point out the grammatical miscomprehension between y’all, I’m as neutral as Switzerland here.

                  Ok I guess it’s hard to focus because you are agitated by this thread, totally understandable.

                  You make a point about generalising “all people” (which was totally valid btw).

                  Other commentators point out that cops and landlords aren’t “all people” (as in, there are people that exist that are neither cops or landlords), and they’re “only” generalising these sub-groups (again, not saying I agree with that either).

                  Miscomprehension ensues.

                    My point was that not ALL cops or ALL landlords are bad people. Yes, there are many. And yes- this needs to be addressed, but specifically, OP said ALL cops and ALL landlords are bastards

                    This is a blanket statement. The goalposts were moved to indicate they meant “people” but they specificity addressed the two careers in their statement.

                    Apologies for jumping the gun on ya. That’s on me.
