Bring it back
People will call this communism somehow like it wasn’t what made America great in the mid century. Workers didn’t take no for an answer back then and it was our most prosperous era.
We used to be a nation with serious people
Hmm. Would not see this too often today. But an example to follow regardless.
We used to live in a society.
Wow back when people actually cared about one another… shocking
Power of the people?
Class solidarity works
This happened on Little House on the Prairie once (sans nooses), which allowed Paw to keep the farm. I had no idea it was based on something real.
It’s (morbidly) funny that I don’t even remember the name of the executive that got popped but everyone remembers Luigi
Unity, loyalty, integrity, folks…
Make that shit great again.
Bank uses a substitute trustee to bid a minimum amount to avoid this nowadays. Then they just list and sell it as bank owned.
I know this is random, but when our local mall went into foreclosure the winning bid was only $100,000. Apparently only one guy showed up to the bankruptcy auction.
okay but y’all hate each other so this will never happen
Doesn’t work without the nooses.
There are pros and cons to this kind of community bond.
It’s easy to say this is “back when people cared about each other” but if you were an outsider (race/religion/etc) trying to move into this town or start a farm or even just keep your farm in the area I doubt you would see the same support.
Just look at how black farmers and land owners were squeezed out all over the country.

Communities like this protect “their own” and if you aren’t one of “them” then you are shit out of luck.
Good ol days
This is the way
BTW, the same techniques and threats of lynchings were also done to prevent any ‘other races’ from moving into the community,
The banks solved this by sending their own bidders or setting minimum bids.
This is what they’re afraid of happening here. We can stand together. Hopefully it doesn’t have to go full revolution to get there. Facebook just got rid of DEI these companies don’t care about values or principles they just flip flop to appeal to the narrative the media creates to make everyone think change is happening. We are being fleeced.
This happened all over the country during the Great Depression. You wouldn’t bid against the owner because of the *consequences*.
Damn and look at us now we are pathetic
I wanna read more! Any sources?
Here’s the part people don’t like to talk about:
The nooses were effective because they actually got used. Basic human decency was enforced with violence, otherwise greed would continue to win out.
That is what liberalism wants to forget.
And then everyone else paid higher interest rates to the bank so they could recoup their loss on that mortgage.
Sorry BUD that’s socialism
That’s solidarity
The movement turned violent and lost much support when they abducted an unfortunate Iowa judge and threw a rope around his neck and threatened to hang him unless he stopped foreclosing on farms. Authorities intervened before the threat was carried out.
My dad was just telling me his grandpa used to this in North Dakota.
Sadly this cant happen anymore cause extremists will label their fellow citizens as subhumans if they voted Trump or Harris or are Sanders fans or Musk fans or whatever bullshit reason.
i love it.
I would definitely go and buy the farm. And the hangman noose is a ridiculous threat, what are they gonna do, murder me? 😂🤣
This was a great America
bring this back
This is where we are headed
The banks ended up patching this exploit.
Buy it anyway and fuck that hick town lol.
