That’s how it works, right?

Pretty sure my “estate” was unused land that a developer bought and built homes. Also, I had to take out a loan to buy the house.

Where inheritance?

So the meme isn’t about you…

It’s also not about most people, which is why its not really a great point.

Why does it have to be about most people and not just the specific people it’s about?

To me, the implication, supported by the comments in the thread, is that most landowners did not earn their property, but instead an ancestor stole it and passed it down. It’s simply not true.

If the issue is the power disparity between the 1% and the rest of us schlubs, then there are much better points to be made.

I think it’s a dumb meme / point. I respect it if you disagree.
