    Last time I checked, liberals also worshipped private property like a god, so doesn’t this meme also apply to them?

          So basically no one here in a community about authoritarianism and also not something anyone here would approve of?

          Maybe you’re getting irate at the wrong group.

              This is not about me nor what I believe. However, even if I did believe that one person should be allowed to rent their home to someone else, that doesn’t mean I worship private property like a god.

              ‘Worship’ and ‘god’ are words that have meanings. Perhaps you should look them up if you think ‘believes someone should be legally allowed to rent their home to someone else’ applies to either word.

                So if a landlord uses the police to throw a single mom out of her home because she can’t pay rent, how is that not authoritarianism?

                  Sorry, you’re moving the goalposts now. This was about worshiping property as a god.

                  Is believing that someone can rent their home to someone else worshiping property as a god? If so, please define ‘worship’ and ‘god’ as they apply to this context.

                    Is believing that someone can rent their home to someone else worshiping property as a god?

                    Yes, it means you support parasitism, slavery, and guzzling the blood of workers like the vampire you are.

                    If so, please define ‘worship’ and ‘god’ as they apply to this context.

                    Worship: the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity. “the worship of God”

                    God: (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being. 2. (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity. “a moon god”

                    You worship capital like a god.

          Wasn’t planning on it. Especially since I worked so hard to be the authorized representative for all liberals everywhere

            I’m pretty sure most liberals would give a similar or identical answer. You guys love private property so much, you even use it to justify slavery and genocide!

                    Sometimes I have trouble telling the difference between liberals and nazis, since nazis were inspired by the USA and liberals like the Rockefellers funded the nazis (and were never punished for doing so). The nazis also came to power specifically during the liberal Weimar period.
