Tribes in the rain forests of Brazil have no interest in paying rent, are they less than human?
And jesus I've known a fuckton of squatters.. again, are they less than human in some way? |
First, your implication that I am describing people as "less than human" is exactly opposite of what I have been saying in every single post. You couldn't have gotten my words more wrong if you simply reversed all the letters.
As for paying rent, I was going with Beau's example of an apartment in LA. If a Brazilian has no interest in paying rent in LA, they don't have a right to that prime piece of real estate. Western civilization invading and seizing Brazilian lands is a different story. That would certainly be wrong.
As for squatters ... I can only speak for my own land. If somebody were squatting on my land, and I didn't want them there, I would indeed ask them to leave.
Where you are getting the "less than human" stuff I have no idea.
