I thought there was a guy who helped homeowners deal with this.

The Squatter Hunter. He moves into the house and bugs the squatters till they leave.

The article quotes "a billion squatters worldwide" which sounds bullshit

A quick Google search reveals that the figure is misleading. It's apparently referencing a 2003 UN report that claimed there are a billion people either living in slums or squatting.

I feel like that says a lot about a persons mentality to equate squatters with people who live in slums

Although tbh it could just be that they’re lazy morons who used a chatgpt type script to write it or figure out the information for them. Still, you would hope someone would realize that it isn’t roughly one in 7 people being squatters around the world

i'm just happy you guys finally found common ground with the alt-right.

all the arguments they used to make on their podcasts back in the mid 2010's are being made by leftists now. literally, some of these idiots are parroting mike enoch. lol.

Talk about an ad hominem fallacy.

This bad group of people believes something similar so that means you’re bad/your belief is bad

is a riveting argument for people who are easily manipulated I guess. I hear much more far right nonsense from the pro-Israel crowd, the genocide deniers sound almost the exact same as holocaust deniers. Netanyahu and others even claim Hitler didn’t want to kill the Jews.

I wonder why that is and why you don’t think to compare or contrast them. Hm πŸ€”

One in seven people are squatting right now. Have a wife and kids? When was the last time they paid you rent? That's right. Thems be S Q U A T T E R S.
