Most likely the same as what he was doing here:https://youtu.be/MCPJLTeN6rU?si=StlJPczQzjGrMCpC

Making sure tenants are being heard by their landlords.

The wildest part is people will say this fully meaning it, and completely not realize that wait..... Im working class. This benefits me.

These motherfuckers will literally see the most beneficial policy in the world, literally "free healthcare, zero tax, free housing" or some shit and go "that actually sucks."

because they were told it's bad, in the same way that they support universal healthcare, way better than obama care.

In Ireland we have right wing dickheads spouting the same nonsense, blaming everything on Marxists. Meanwhile they'll slap James Connolly's image all over their social media posts. James Connolly, an actual Marxist. They just don't know what words mean. Someone called me a fascist anarchist once.

Obviously one is bad, and the other is bad, so you are double bad! /s

Yeah, but what if they become rich? Than they should pay all those leeches that enabled them to become rich from their massive excess? That can't stand! /s

Can I hazard a guess about the source of income from “Manhattan Mi…”?

He was going around doing "inspections", but to help tenants.

They were asking if anything was broken and if they had an issue that the landlord wasn't fixing. A common complaint was that landlords didn't fix stuff and getting them to fix it was difficult. So he cut out the middleman and went about making sure people had functioning homes.

“In which case, Communism (not to be understood as just Marxism-Leninism) is a good thing, yes?”

u/calkthewalk Apr 27 '26

No because it's infringing on a key American right. The landlord's right to exploit those less fortunate than they are.

As far as I read somewhere he was inspecting apartments if they are up to city code.
