If you feel that ownership of land is "kind of bullshit" feel free to live in in a traveller always being on the move.

I don't support excessively inflated rent but the fact that some people here genuinely believe that renting out a property is equivalent to scalping or that landlords don't deserve to get paid for investing capital in the "land" which they're renting is the funniest shit I've read the whole day.

Whoooooosh.

Believing something is bullshit does not obligate me to protest it in ways that are harmful to my well being.

I cannot opt out of the consequences of everyone else believing ownership of land is a legitimate concept. Choosing not to make use of land other people claim to own is acknowledging land ownership just as much as buying or renting property is. And I don't want to be shot or arrested for trespassing.

Go live on an inhabited Island and create a whole nation of bums like you there

Man you are working really hard to miss my point. Either that or you're incredibly dense.
