Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Fuck private property. Imagine "owning" 22k acres of the Earth that you do nothing with and the get pissy when people crossed it. Owning land is starting to become this dated concept as the population grows and the available land on Earth doesn't.
These statements show how you have no clue how real estate actually works.
Real estate as property exists to make guaranteed sustained use of a parcel of land for productivity - farming and housing are classic examples of this... there is a serious investment of labor to construct a house (especially in modern times) and agriculture is essentially a year long investment into food production. Without a guarantee to reap the benefits of that investment, nobody would be willing to invest in activating or improving the land.
There are a variety of other productive uses we've discovered as well - and some have moved from common use to exclusive use like ranching, mining, milling, and cooking - some of the new ones are oil/gas extraction, tourism and habitat preservation.
Mobile resources have always been quite complicated in this regard - deer migrate and preserving the ability to hunt requires a coordination of land beyond a single parcel. However, in this case the hunters weren't (or at least say they weren't hunting there) - it's reasonable for people to have a right of way and if the geography forces people onto private property to access public property that's an allowance that should be made.
I think what the person you were replying to was trying to say was, that land is an investment platform, and nobody better touch his stuff, or he will enact capital punishment as judge jury and executioner
