@HeavenlyPossum @Daojoan @violetmadder My landlords have my consent to rent me their home. I'm ok with it. I get it that you are not, but I hope you are also able to be ok with the fact that I am ok with it, and that there are plenty of people who are also quite content to remain as renters - and without the current arrangement, as it is, that would not be possible. Historical contexts are always lovely, and there is so much academic discourse to be had here, but at the end of the day . I'm home

I have quite explicitly told you that I am not criticizing you for your choices.

Consent given under duress, however, is not freely given.

@HeavenlyPossum @Daojoan @violetmadder Sorry - here sits just a fleeting space time event, currently known as "me", dancing through an eternal space time field - not sure how it is that you can say that I am under duress - because I am certainly not. You can, of course, assert to me that I am under duress, but you would need to do that - under duress.

People who do not pay landlords or banks for housing are typically under threat of being violently made unhoused, with all of the harms that come along with that.
