image comparing two cars. a person calls the first car brilliant captioned [no-one is illegal on stolen land]
in the second picture he points to the other car and says “but I like this this” captioned [no-one is illegal]
Property is theft, so the two are the same
Private property is, yeah.
Not trying to be a pedantic dick, its just annoying when I see people go “leftists want to take your toothbrush” when they don’t understand the idea of private property being theft.
You aren’t wrong, and I don’t think you’re being overly pedantic, but you also didn’t explicitly mention the distinction that most leftists draw between private property (i.e. property that is owned by someone who does not use it, but makes other people pay to do so) and personal property (property that is owned and used by the same person, like the aforementioned toothbrush). Most people who object to the original statement don’t know the difference and use the terms as if they were synonymous.
No problem, I was referring to owning land in the context of the meme.
