This article/discussion, seems to me to be the same ole cry baby arguments, Property one acquires, whether through competition, hard work, an agreed upon payment, one's choice to bestow upon another/charity, or by Contest-(meaning won by chance) so long as there was no cheating, deception, favoritism (which ever applies) etc is the natural way of things.
Where this argument becomes valid, in my observation, is when there IS Cheating, Deception, Corruption, Coercion or... out right theft.
The premise is age old and the latter arguments is where we end up in the weeds.

They even try to use a biblical argument, which in my view, was more about "are you able to understand the information at the mental stage you are at" similar to how you would teach a child.
But, between you and I, I think, the story is tainted and the message obfuscated.

This whole argument seems to me to be leaning dangerously LEFT of Center...What say you?

    Relieved I am...I am not alone in my thinking and reaction to this article.

    Redefining the concept of property was spot on.

    Read the article twice, and still don’t understand their point or points. It’s probably because they are trying to redefine a term in such a way as to confuse the original definition. Might be another attempt by the cancel culture.

    Sounds Solip, (which ignores physical reality)..I say, as far as my home and property goes, Come and Get it, Nancy boys and butchy girls! It's protected in the constitution and natural law...this ignoring the Constitution has gota stop!

    The overriding rule is 'Might makes Right'.
    Evidence is everywhere.
    Ignore that one rule at your peril.

    Actually we own nothing. Government gives us the illusion of ownership but fail to conform to their constructs and your possessions are void. The ONLY thing you own is the knowledge of the changes you have made to yourself - solipsism. .

    Typical of Lawyer type arguments...they have traditionally not been good stewards of Natural Law and have a habit of making things more complicated than they really are...sarcastically laughing...and this article is posted on a site called "REASON".

    So what am I missing here?...is there anything to their argument?
