Trying to be charitable, I think maybe it's just a cultural thing. If someone grew up immersed in a culture which tells them that walking everywhere is a natural right of man, then it wouldn't be surprising if they think of private land ownership as being heinous. It's a very alien view to me, but values shaped by culture generally are. It's just how it is.
- rsynnott 2y agoMany countries allow private land ownership, but also have a right to roam; the land ownership is qualified (as indeed almost all land ownership is nearly everywhere; that's how eminent domain works).
- ajkjk 2y agoI think the claim is more like: "We grew up in a culture that forgot how the freedom to go everywhere ought to be something we value. I have remembered that this is a good thing to value, and you should too."
