When there are plenty of people who are steeped in the dogma of Imaginary Property, and whose lives depend on it, it's not too surprising.
- boplicity 2y agoFYI: "Money" is imaginary property. Not sure you want to call people supporting "imaginary property" dogmatic. It's what our society is built on.
- userbinator 2y agoMoney is not imaginary. You can touch and interact with it.
- gruez 2y agoThat's like saying movies aren't imaginary either because there's blu-rays. Even if we take that point at face value though, the vast majority of money is imaginary, only existing on ledgers. When the fed "prints money", it's just adjusting an entry on a database somewhere.

- aguaviva 2y agoBy a group that wanted to appear as "pro-Palestinian". That doesn't mean they were of course, and most likely they weren't. The article itself clearly doesn't take the claimed associate at face value.
