    “Owning” land isn’t moral, but we’ve normalized it over the past few millennia so it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

      I will take “accepted by most societies over millennia” as a pretty good definition of “moral”.

        Most societies also killed gay people, refused to help handicapped people, refused women any day in anything, etc etc for millennia and those are all immoral as well.

        Just because things were done a certain way doesn’t mean that’s the right way

          Yeah, I’m going to keep on owning land without worrying if it’s moral or not.
