            Edit: can we also change the name card to say Mr. WhiskeyLeaks? My ideas outpace my meme creation skills.

    I can only find one case of this, but yeah, she tried to buy a convent from the Catholic Church but two old nuns were still living there. The nuns wanted to sell to some real estate developer who apparently said they’d let them stay there and open the convent to the public after they died. The Catholic Church took Perry’s side and said the nuns had no right to sell the property.

      I haven’t looked up any details, but from what you tell me I too would side with the catholic church and Katy Perry, and saying those words wasn’t a pleasant experience.

        Opening up a religious property for the public is better then letting it be demo’ed by some rich ass and her fascist church friends. I don’t trust that the real estate company WOULD have, but they might if their logic is “Big church nearby “enhances” our other properties.”

        you think the catholic church had more right to that property than the women who’d lived there for decades? chairman

          The actual argument you could make here is that as the “workers” in the convent, they were entitled to the means of production (Production of… holiness I guess) i.e. the convent. The landlord/tenant relationship does not at all map on to a nun and the catholic church

            The landlord/tenant relationship does not at all map on to a nun and the catholic church

            I disagree. If they live on church property, and their ability to do so is contingent on their doing certain kinds of work, then how is that work not comparable to a form of rent? I would concede that it has elements of both.

            (unless i misunderstood and they didn’t actually live there)

              That form of work they are obligated to do is to not be excommunicated. They are not charged rent.

              And in either case, selling a convent off to a real estate developer isn’t some liberatory action, these women weren’t seizing property to put it into the commons or to redistribute it for the good of all, they were essentially claiming squatters rights to sell off a building to a real estate developer who was probably going to flip it. Which now that I’m saying it out loud isn’t really any worse than what the church was going to do with it.

                There’s a band with the same name as you, and they make really incredible stuff, one member has a rack setup with a guitar, a bass, and a synth and plays them simultaneously. I must ask, what does nohaybanda mean?

    not trying to defend katey perry, and for all i know there are other instances of her going after the property of actually vulnerable elderly people but when i looked this up, it turns out she was trying to buy some old millionaire’s mansion, the old millionaire already signed the contract but then said “actually i just had back surgery and wasnt all there when i signed the deal so the contract isnt valid” and thats why she sued him

    so just dumb ass rich piggies fighting at the trough

        again gonna preface this with not trying to defend katey perry but in this instance it also looks like katey perry didnt really do anything wrong here— the nuns at this place sold it to some dude. the archdiosese said the nuns had no right to sell the land, and then sold it to perry. the previous dude who bought it from the nuns was already living there tho and the case went to court.

        so the nun didnt die because of katey perry, the nun died because she was stressed out and caught up in some bullshit property case, but really if anyone is to blame then its either the nuns who originally sold it, or the archdiosese who took issue with them selling it and then turning around and selling it to perry causing the whole thing to go to court
