I've seen some landlord tiktok where one minute they go "I love my passive income, look how relaxing and luxurious my life is smuglord" and the next minute go "Don't you understand how much hard work it is to be a landlord!? wojak-nooo"

It's funny in general that whenever you say landlords are useless someone always says ”but they do X and Y, it's not just collecting the money every month”, but every finance bro pro tips for life article always has i-told-you-dog ”Invest in property, it's a good way to have passive income!” in it.

They hold both these contradictory ideas in their heads simultaneously without any kind of introspection or synthesis.

Oh there is synthesis, it’s just they’ve squared the contradiction with: “works good for me, fuck you, got mine!”

they do X and Y

Goes to any forum for landlords: "How can I avoid doing X and Y for my tenants?" "Is there any way I can force my tenants to do X and Y or pay for them?"
