Yep, it’s akin to a “all property is theft” take on things.
I bought my shoes, i didn’t steal them. I bought the cheese in my fridge, I didn’t steal it Hell, I even bought the fridge.
And, yes, I bought my house and garden. No stealing involved… unfortunately. Because it was fucking expensive, but, alas, I was not allowed to steal it.
Someone may have ‘stole’ it by staking a claim to it a few hundred or possibly over a thousand years ago, but my hands and conscience are clean (about the land, at least).
No it is not. That is a uninformed relativisation that serves no other purpose than to deflect from the issue.
