Property is acquired through the trade of one's resources, which are acquired through a time tradeoff in almost all cases.
The property vs. body isn't about valuing "things" more than people. It's about recognizing that the decision to destroy someone else's property is illegal, and that activity should be interrupted by the government. It is one of the few responsibilities a government should have. Underlying the property, real damage is being done to real humans by destroying their past and future bodies through the proxy of property and the tradeoff they would need to make to reacquire it.
- mitt_romney_12 4y agoIt is about valuing things more than people. By saying that it's ok to respond to property damage with violence you are valuing property at at least the same, if not more, than people.
- hellojesus 4y agoYes. My point is that it took the equivalent of human life to acquire the property, so destroying someone else's private property is akin to destroying their life. Obviously they're still alive so can spend time acquiring more, but let's not pretend property crime is priceless. That said, I don't advocate for violence and would prefer to see the legal system work the issues through.
