Land ownership is so bizarre & awful when I think about it. What is "land" in this construction, exactly? We interact with it as if it's a flat plat map, not an assemblage of other living beings. I hate that people think all those creatures are ours to "own" in the first place. Our relationship to land & to other life has been so profoundly warped by capitalism, settler colonialism, & chattel slavery, I despair that we'll ever recover.
@dialetheia We insist it is "real" estate. Overcompensating?
