MODERATORS
In the interest of pedantry, technically you are correct.
Land ownership is theft, rent is just the symptom.
By that logic owning anything is theft.
Mostly, yeah. In the western world, anyways, pretty much everything we have was gained via theft. So it isn't earned and we shouldn't treat property like it's gained via merit.
You're almost there!
