pretty much. the person you are replying to is entirely delusional and has decided ‘money is evil’ so therefore they shouldn’t ever have to pay anyone for anything.

And yet I wonder if they go into the grocery store and steal food… probably not. it’s almost as if they are just rhetorically grandstanding to feel superior to us ‘idiots’ who think money isn’t ‘evil’.

Money isn’t itself evil. Appropriating surplus value is what’s being criticized.

Did you mess up your whole bit in the first sentence? The person I’m replying to or the one you’re replying to?

And apparently ‘money is evil’ isn’t something widely believed anymore?

And yet I wonder if they go into the grocery store and steal food… probably not.

I am fully in support of people stealing food from the grocery store if they can get away with it. Not even just poor people. Everyone should steal from the grocery store.

I’ve been a renter, an owner, and a landlord

A puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet

but the second i got a decent income and was able to live in a nicer place and eventually buy a place, which i could only afford at first by renting out the spare bedroom

Oh. So you used someone else’s money to buy something for yourself because you had the advantageous position in a society that deliberately limits housing so that it can be commodified. You both lived and worked and payed into the mortgage, but you were putting money from your hand into your pocket and he was just putting it in your pocket.

Is your morality limited to, and inclusive of all law? Is it moral because it’s legal?

  ok, so if i come over and murder you and steal all your shit, you’re perfectly OK with that? As long, as I think it’s moral to do that, we’re good right?
  
  Good to know. All you are making an argument for is total chaos where everyone’s feelings are all that matters, and it’s ok to do whatever i want to anyone as long as any of us feel it’s good to do that thing.

    So your answer to my question of justifying your morality is to hysterically rant that I’m saying there is no morality.
    
    I’m glad you think you’re coming off so well in this interaction that your affectation alone will make your point.
