Comment on YSK De-banking is often how the US first declares you "homeless"
moody@lemmings.world 1 day agoIf people aren’t property, why would damaging property be so severe?
Sorry in advance for defending the concept of defence of property. It’s not that I think it should be that way, but currently it is.
Property can easily be equated to either work or status. In today’s society, we work to earn our property. Damaging property is then damaging work, or at least the value of the work already done.
On the other end, status is something we already know that the elite value above all else, so it makes sense that attacking someone’s status is going to get punished.
So it’s not so much that people are property, but that harm to property is harm to its owners.

Yes, that’s the belief. I understand that.
But it isn’t harm to the owners. The equating harm to property to harm to the owner is what makes the idea of us not being equal a thing.
Otherwise our children would be traumatized from every piece of colored paper that we have to throw away that they bring home. The unrepairable cars, the laptops that bite the dust, the food that we consume.
That’s why people being property is no different to the elite. They are equivalent.
