MODERATORS
Land ownership, mandatory minimum sentence, death
It shouldn't be criminalized; it just shouldn't exist as a concept it is today.
People should have a private place to live on, but shouldn't own anything else to profit off it.
Fun fact: The Native Americans had no concept of land ownership. It's how "Squatter's Rights" was used to justify European occupation of native lands.
To the natives, land was meant to be used, not owned. For Europeans, they would look at a section of land and say "Who owns this? Nobody? Well, I guess it's mine now."
Being raised in a world dominated by European ideals, it's easy to disregard how those ideals may have been challenged and if we really received the best outcome.
