    The enshrinement of property as an individual right is what’s being castigated with the comparison.

    That’s what I mean about switching back and forth. No, it’s not. The great mass of uninformed idiots on lemmy does not know or understand economic theory beyond slogans.

    People care about social issues far and away more than economic theory. Yes, there is overlap. But your average person just thinks “my life is bad and I want it to not be bad”, the end.

    It’s similar to the right wing bigot pretending he has to vote for the fascists because they’re fiscally responsible. No, fuck you, that’s just cover.

    Trolls on lemmy don’t give a fuck about private property ownership any more than the bigot cares about fiscal responsibility (honestly, I think you personally might, because you’re a True Believer, you poor bastard). Trolls on lemmy care about tearing down the system and will use any argument they can to further that goal.
