I remember in the early 2000s rent and mortgage payments weren't far from being at parity. And without the same amount of landlord taxation back then it was pretty obvious that as a tenant you were essentially working to buy the landlord your home while they sat on the beach counting the size of their property portfolio.
In respect of my feelings towards landlords, I didn't find the situation particularly endearing. I had opportunities later to become a landlord but I would've felt dirty.
While I don't have sympathy for them nowadays, things aren't as easy. The state saw its opportunity to skim off their profits and so its not such a free ride.
The tenants are still slaves to the system though, and they know they are, they should just direct their resentment towards the state (i.e. the central banking system)
