    It’s a random hypothetical, I guess I should have used aliens because everyone is kinda hyper fixating on the example hypothetical and not the actual point of the discussion.

      No, I responded to that too.went with your extreme straw manned misunderstanding by pointing out that we have a shitty corporation that already does that. You asked if I owned any children. I think you just want excuses to be scared of others having agency.

        It’s more so to point out that some may have a reason to hold onto what they have and the original point of group X taking from group Y would apply to your example as well.

              Nah. I’m a millenial. I have a couple younger genx friends, but everyone else I know was born after 1980, most of us are queer. Too many of us went to college.

              We do not own things. We will not inherit things. You’re trying to provoke me to racist bullshit with the loss of a privilege that someone else already took. Like a cop shooting me with a grenade launcher and saying “yeah but imagine if a criminal had shot you!”.

                What’s race got to do with this? Also your analogy really doesn’t match the general argument. You have your health and your life, you have things that could be taken I imagine you wouldn’t want taken. Happens to people all the time for different reasons. I imagine you have people you care about and you would want to see them well and wouldn’t like to see someone preventing that. The list goes on and on.

                In short everything is cool until someone wants to take from you something you don’t want to give.

                  So a human life existing is worth the same as some dirt to you?

                  I have in fact had a home taken from me for bullshit arbitrary reasons. No metaphor or analogy needed. I didn’t fuck anything up. Everyone involved with the possible (tee-hee) exception of myself was white.

                  You’re just a shitty little hyper privileged racist who thinks human lives are literally worth less than dirt.

                    Not what I was arguing but to get at the heart of the discussion aka someone wants to take something from someone else that they don’t want taken I had to switch up the object to something you have a connection to.

                    How did someone take your home?

                    Also I never said anything about race and how do you know if I am or I am not privileged?
