Holy bad faith Batman.

Pointing out that what you're saying doesn't make sense isn't bad faith.

For the love of God, go read fucking theory

How about 'for the love of God, define your fucking terms', if you're using them in a way inconsistent with colloquial understanding?

No one in everyday life considers "personal property" and "private property" to not be the exact same thing. Stop playing semantic games and communicate normally, if you expect to ever sway anyone. It also helps not to insult people not privy to said semantic games.

If you live in the house, it becomes your personal property. Meaning you own it while you live and reside there. No one can just come into your personal space. Yet, when you no longer wish to live there and are moving away, the house transfers ownership back to the community until someone needs it.

So:

How, exactly, is it being determined who gets to live there first/next?
If none of the residents are actually purchasing the house, who's footing the bill for them all? I'm seeing estimates that the total residential housing in the US carries a value in the area of $45 trillion, with a T. You think you're getting anywhere near that with tax revenue? And that's without even considering new construction and repairs to existing construction.

No, I will not define basic fucking terms for you. If you are too ignorant to understand the difference between personal and private property when it comes to systemic analysis of our systems of ownership, the. You're too fucking ignorant to have an argument with. Go fucking read a book first.

Also, fuck you, I'm autistic and I'll communicate how I fucking please, shitheel.

No, I will not define basic fucking terms for you.

Then don't be surprised when people read the terms and use the definition 99% of people use in 99% of situations, and not the fringe academic definition you're thinking of, and misunderstand what you're trying to say.

Grow up.

If you are too ignorant to understand the difference between personal and private property when it comes to systemic analysis of our systems of ownership, the. You’re too fucking ignorant to have an argument with.

You're so mad you couldn't even keep track of where you're ending and starting sentences, lol.

Imagine being this furious over something that's entirely your fault.

Also, fuck you, I’m autistic and I’ll communicate how I fucking please, shitheel.

So am I, so what? Stop making excuses—how you communicate is your responsibility, no one else's. You have zero justification for throwing a tantrum like this, over the fact that the vast majority of people consider "private property" and "personal property" to have identical meaning, and not the obscure academia-specific definition you're using.

P.S. I hope you realize one day that you will never change anyone's mind on anything, speaking to people this way.
