    Look if you want to be a bigoted collectivist, be my guest. I am an individualist. I believe we each have free will to choose how to behave and who we are. My possessions do not define me, but they are mine.

    And yes, you can change your gender I’m told. Especially if it is “fluid” and dynamic. You can change the sexual preference of which partners you choose. Edit: the list above is not exhaustive. You can lump people in and collectivise them however you like to make this point. All football players. All teachers. All homeowners (if you prefer somrthing you own to something you do). Don’t be pedantic and play dumb to avoid the topic at hand.

    If you despise wealth, feel free to give it away. But if you think wealth is inherently evil and think I don’t deserve it if I earn it, and that my having it makes ME inherently evil and you’ll lump me in with those others? Then feel free to come try to take it from me. Just don’t be a coward and use the force of the state or police or military or your neighbor or your vote or other parties or things by proxy to do it.

    But this is all a side show to the main topic. If you’re a collectivist, we will never see eye to eye and I passionately disagree with your ideology and will oppose it at every opportunity.

      Ha. I post with an explicit request not to be a coward and to face me and my ideas, and some coward casts a downvote anonymously without facing or challenging the ideas in good faith. Too rich.
