Our system is seriously alarmed if you destroy a person’s property, but cavalierly unconcerned by the way it destroys people’s lives.

Yes ... thank you ... that's an interesting phenomenon ... Property has value ... but people don't!

not in the PNW, you can assault journalist, incite violence against them, destroy property, and nothing happens, the DA declines to press charges.

I mean, you could always choose not to destroy people’s property and thereby avoid the system

Destroying people’s property doesn’t affect their lives?
Replying to @marwilliamson
And yet we let the government (the monopoly of violence) take 1/3 of the property we earn each year, and we are "crazy" to think that's wrong.
Replying to @marwilliamson
That's capitalism.

Why can’t we argue that our bodies are property, too? 🤔
