If you feel attacked, then you have my sincere apology. Some degree of attack-ness is necessary, though, for the sake of finding truth. Truth is compassion ; illusions are enslavement.

If it makes you feel better, I do this with people I agree with, too. For example, my stance against banking earned me no friends while I was studying economics at university, despite generally liking and agreeing with my professors on most things. I do try to soften my wording, but there's just no way to completely smooth away the pointed "no/disagree" that's in a disagreement.

I appreciate the discussion, truly. Sometimes we need to step back and go little by little…I’m slow.

Where do property rights come from and who enforces them?

Property comes from work. Read John Locke, for a better definition than I can give. Property **_rights_** come from the golden rule, do to others what you'd have them do to you - aka social contract or God, if you want mental shortcuts.

No, not looking for mental shortcuts or any magical solution.

In order to have property rights, you must enforce those rights. Who enforces those rights?

Comte de Sats Germain 1mo ago 💬 2

You do. If you don't, they will be violated, and they will be violated most by whoever you trust to protect them.

So it’s within my rights to come put a bullet in your head or with whatever overwhelming force necessary to take what you “think” is yours. I like it.

Not sure how you made that leap. Its kinda the opposite..
