The idea of ownership is kinda silly.
Right? "My ancestors beat up your ancestors, so I deserve to live in wealth and opulence, while you deserve to be my slave"
It really is pretty fucked up.
There's that poem(?) about that
"""
"Get off this estate."
"What for?"
"Because it's mine."
"Where did you get it?"
"From my father."
"Where did he get it?"
"From his father."
"And where did he get it?"
"He fought for it."
"Well, I'll fight you for it."

“Private property is the smallest unit of warfare.” — The Terraformers (2023) by ~~Becky Chambers~~ Annalee Newitz
Edit: author name
Oh gosh, we love Becky Chamber's work. This is amazing that we didn't know this one. Thanks for sharing!
Edit: Seems you might be incorrect. It was written by Annalee Newitz
Ah, shit, you're right. They're right next to each other on my mental bookshelf. I was introduced to their works via this talk they gave together, have been reading both their works, and so I have trouble distinguishing them. >.<
It's okay. At least we learned about a cool author and book!
nice, I like small scale violence
I could be in support of more regulation/taxation on inheritance. But straight up removing ownership as a concept seems way too flimsy.
Its not the concept of ownership its the concept of private property. Of owning property that you do not occupy. Of housing belonging to anyone other than who presently lives there.
Ah OK that makes more sense than what you said the first time.
should I not be allowed to use a second residence (that may be deemed uninhabitable or not) as a cheaper storage unit? (I hate how much storage units charge)
