    My health is something I buy on the black market. My life is something cops would I’m sure very much like to take.

    How are either comparable to real estate? Are there a bunch of little holes in the nearest dirt to you the size of your dick, or is life just worth basically nothing to you?

      I had to switch the object to keep with the sentiment of the argument aka someone wants to take something from someone else they don’t want taken. The argument isn’t that a life is equivalent to land. Group X wants to take from group Y something they don’t want taken.

      How does someone buy their health illegally? That’s something I haven’t heard before.

          Why do you keep adding things I’ve never said. It’s a really interesting behavior. It’s a bit like talking to an overly aggressive hallucinating AI.

            You didn’t say explicitly but strongly implied. I understand what you’re trying to say, I’ve thought about it more than you, and I’m not a raging bigot, so I’m rejecting the idea you’re having trouble articulating because you can’t make it sound not-evil even in your straw man that in no way resembles the actual thing.

            Except that last part. That was me calling you a 14 year old who thinks Ayn rand was smart.

              I mean I explicitly and strongly disagree with that synopsis for whatever it’s worth. In its most general sense it’s just an aspect of reality. A gazelle wanting to keep its life and a lion wanting to eat the gazelle. Group X wants something group Y doesn’t want to give. In a lot of circumstances it is evil but not all. Like conceptually this shouldn’t be a highly contested thing, it’s about as everyday as the sum rising and setting.

                  I’ll repeat what I’ve said. I brought up land and you said land doesn’t matter so to get the point across I moved on to something I think does matter to you personally. Of course to others their land is like their life and they are willing to kill and die for it, since you’re not currently in that circumstance I had to equate it to something.

                    I don’t think an ownership change of land is the same as the end of a life, no. The land remains.

                    No person I know owns land. My landlord is a corporation. Has always been a corporation.

                    I don’t think the feelings of colonizers count, matter, or are genuine. They’re all theatrical liars making shit up yo justify their racial supremacist and theocratic genocides. They would in nearly every case defile and destroy the thing rather than give it up, and that doesn’t sound like the thing is what’s important to them, but their fetishization and dominance of the thing.

                    I don’t think you could comprehend my value system if you tried, and I don’t think you have, or respect you enough to explain.
