    It’s pointing out situations where the trope/stereotype falls apart.

    No, it’s misdirection – where the landlord got their money from doesn’t make a whit of difference.

    It’s nearly as ridiculous as asking “well if the slave owner got their loan from a credit union, then it’s all those evil working class credit union members profiting?” It’s a non-sequitur. You can go off about how much you know about credit unions all you want, it’s got fuck-all to do with landlords.

    Rent-seeking behaviour doesn’t magically turn good if you got your initial capital from some “good” source
