Gregory's ServerYou say that it is your home. Isn't it by default your business? If the current owner decides to kick you out, wouldn't that be an issue? A direct impact on your life? I still can't understand your resistance to the idea of owning your home?

Okay then. You don't care about whatever happens to you and your living place. I cannot even fathom that, and I don't understand your "complexity" but okay. Less complex people tend to not like not having control over the place they live in. They don't like to be faced with the options of paying more and more money each year or be homeless. They would actually like being able to be sure that their home is actually their home.  @HeavenlyPossum Sounds like The Maffia. @Daojoan @violetmadder @FrenchPanda @storyworker @Daojoan @levampyre @storyworker @violetmadder @FrenchPanda Yes—the capitalist, the warlord, the landlord, the banker, the mafioso, the king, etc, are all variations on a central theme.  @RD4Anarchy @storyworker @FrenchPanda @HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @Daojoan Sometimes I get reminders of why I'm an atheist in the first place. It's not about metaphysics, it's that most religions are apologies for oppression. @FrenchPanda @HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @Daojoan it is my home. You can see it how you want to, but I'm the one who lives here, so, I get to decide. @FrenchPanda @violetmadder @Daojoan @storyworker You don’t at all get to decide—your landlord owns the home, with all the coercive state authority that comes with that particular legal institution. @HeavenlyPossum @FrenchPanda @violetmadder @Daojoan ok this has been intriguing. But once you start delving into thinking that you have more right to determine how it is that another person experiences and defines their own reality, I'm pretty disinclined to continue engaging. Ideological dogma is ugly and dangerous - no matter what colour hat it wears. Cheers. Seeya. @Daojoan @violetmadder @storyworker @FrenchPanda It’s easier to dismiss a new and uncomfortable idea as “ideological dogma” than actually consider that your understanding is incorrect. I get that! Cheers. @HeavenlyPossum @Daojoan @violetmadder @FrenchPanda I've been studying social work the past 3 years, there is nothing new you are telling me here. Why conflate a different perspective with ignorance? @HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @storyworker @Daojoan @FrenchPanda If another person experiences and defines their reality as controlled by a Jewish conspiracy set to exterminate white people or defines their reality as drunk driving being really good I think I have a right to correct them. @FrenchPanda @HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @Daojoan I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Having a home allows me to do the work I need to do. Having to leave at the end of the month would also allow me to do the work I need to do. |
@FrenchPanda @HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @Daojoan well darnit. I'm just a complex human being - surely you've encountered that before? Just because you see it differently to me, it doesn't mean I'm wrong. You able to let that land in you somewhere?
