The idea that you should put complete freedom above all else has been a disaster for the human race. No, you cannot do whatever you want. No, it does not mean you are a prisoner.

Capitalism is not freedom anyway. There is a reason we anarchists reject capitalism. We know better

Yes, but they’re also mostly nuts.

Or maybe just don't value the same creature comforts you do.

When the rich wage war its the poor who die.

The poor go to war, to fight and die for the delights, riches, and superfluities of others.

CE 45 - ~CE 119

This has literally been said by people for at least two millennia.

I can't believe so many of you are upvoting a post about murdering homeless people. You monsters!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago

Oh don't worry.

The billionaires will make sure the homeless don't exist soon enough.

Power to the people ☭

Not in the USA it isn't.

Neither party has done a damn thing to address housing scarcity, and in a few months, you're all going to vote for the same assholes who ignore it.

The latter part is kinda wrong. Article 17 of UDHR.

  1. Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others.
  2. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.

And also kinda article 30.

Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.

I'm pretty sure OP is advocating for limits to these cited rights.

I think homeless people are a little less psyched about it.
