  • what the first Civil War was fought over Slaves. Literal human resources were right up their with land as far as property value and ability to continue to earn future value. Enshrining slaves as property forever is virtually the only difference in the confederate constitution.

    Lincoln was the first presidential ticket with a northern pres and vp at a time when we deliberately had an equal number of southern and northern states and a bunch of territories to be brought into the union out west. Previously it was possible for a southern pres or vp to enforce this fake equality that couldn’t last because the pres could veto and the vp could vote to break a tie. Once you break that tie you can’t put it back you can now add more northern states without issue.

    What were they worried about losing as they lost ground in the house and senate again? Their property and future earnings from that property. It’s popular to quote Lincoln saying he would free none or all of the slaves if he could save the union but that doesn’t tell you what the war was about. They went to war so they could keep their slaves and We went the war so we could keep the southern states instead of having an enemy on our doorstep.










  • They aren’t used at all anywhere for the most part because it takes up to 20 years.

    When morons say it half of them mean needing to evict someone who sets up shop illegally without a lease and half of them mean needing to go to court instead of being free to put tenants shit on the street for non-payment.

    Squatters rights also called Aversive possession have to do with neither.

    Squatters of the kind almost anyone encounters in real life don’t have squatters rights at most they have the leverage provided by cops being unwilling to handle the situation. If you break into a property you don’t live in you can absolutely simply be arrested. In fact WA codified in law that if you aren’t a tenant and haven’t been recently you can be removed on the owners say so without a formal eviction.

    Tenants who don’t pay still aren’t squatters and their right to a formal eviction is a tenant’s right.







  • Morally nobody is being deprived of value because the goods aren’t saleable and thus no effort will be made to collect them. They are rather insisting that others who would have enjoyed them should simply let them rot. So first you are arguing for moral evil for no purpose. Next it is normally the case that goods that are abandoned on purpose eg making no attempt to collect the bananas cannot be stolen.

    Lastly such a threat is absolutely insane.because it is a threat to go after private citizens with the power of the state to punish people for what normally isn’t a crime, wasting the publics resources hurting people for doing something that was never morally wrong.

    Does this still make sense to you?
