In the interest of pedantry, technically you are correct.
Land ownership is theft, rent is just the symptom.
By that logic owning anything is theft.
You're almost there!
Yeah, that's not what your link is saying.
I said anything, not only things used to exploit people. It straight up says that owning possessions is fine.
Mostly, yeah. In the western world, anyways, pretty much everything we have was gained via theft. So it isn't earned and we shouldn't treat property like it's gained via merit.
