I think the depiction of the landlord is not exactly correct.

Landlords are usually miserable, constantly worried about missing payments and mortgages and property values and blaming apartment dilapidation on the tenant. I'm yet to interact with a happy and fully mentally stable landlord.

Oh yeah im sure all the poor landlords are struggling so hard

Being a lazy piece of shit who steals labor from workers is not mutually exclusive with being miserable. In fact I suspect they are interlinked, a lot of rich assholes also seem to be in constant mental anguish even though they don't do anything useful. This is not to provoke pity for them, rather to clarify that I think a certain amount of labor is required for a person to live a complete and happy life.

What a funny tractor.

Well, even the pig is still a worker.

That's why he's a class traitor. He fights against and represses the working class, while being working class himself. Being working class while fighting against the working class is what makes him a traitor.

If he wasn't working class, he would just be an oppressor like any other bougie, not a traitor.

Pigs don't perform any labor.

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

They do, definitionally. They perform a service in exchange for a wage. This service is of net-negative use value for the society, but it's a service nonetheless. Otherwise we could be arguing that people in advertisement or gambling industries don't perform any labor.
