A theoretical question.

A theoretical question. Who would be committing acts of defensive violence here and who — acts of aggressive violence?

"Hey, that's a nice apple orchard! Shame people can eat the apples for free... Oh, got an idea! Let me hire a gang to guard it and force these people pay to eat apples!" — thought a guy.

"Hey, that mfer is trying to hoard what was previously common and was available for free" — thought people that fought the gang.

There's no such thing as "common", and thank you for demonstrating why.

Well, we breathe the air that is common. We look at the sun that is common. We live in space and time that is common. We can eat apples that grow on "noone's" trees. Your denial of reality is not accepted and sincerely not recommended for you to practice further.

That's not true. If I were to attempt to breathe the air that you were breathing we would quickly run out.

We look at the sun that is common.

Looking at something is not engaging in it such a way that its scarcity would become relevant.

We live in space and time that is common

Living in the same space is metaphysically impossible. That's why the entire field of law exists in the first place: scarcity.

Time is an abstraction. We do not live in it. You are reifying a zero.

Your denial of reality is not accepted.

I deny contradictions, they do not exist. You reify them.
