You're right, maybe I should've been less argumentative in my comment, my apologies about that.

You make a good point. I'll cede my argument that every single landlord got the starting capital from the exploitation of others, because there are exceptions in every circumstance.

I do also think that there's another elephant in the room which is that landlordism in general boils down to holding a basic need hostage and charging more than it's worth to people who don't have the entire value at once. In my eyes this is simply being a parasite, and I also get worked up about all of this, so I'm sorry if I came off as argumentative or hostile in my comment.
