United States Why are "squatter's rights" a thing?

Genetics are really complicated and are more like guidelines than rules sometimes. Yeah we could fuck a Neanderthal and make viable offspring which could then breed other stuff.
But then you get mules who cannot, and so on.
Earlier hominids were probably incompatible with us, but that's why they're not named Sapiens, they're still Homos though.
You're still a homo

Back to squatters.

One month and what's yours is their's. What do you think the odds are that the murdered women paid her property tax? What do you think the odds are of the squatters doing so?

As far as I'm concerned squatters rights are just another step down the road to full anarco-tyranny.

That's how it's worked for all of human history.

Your native ancestors did it, too.
I predicted this kind of admission, which is why I made my comment the way I did. As you recall, Natives were called "savages" by the same people who did this to them, yet now it's defended by trying to play the "whatabout" game. :cautious:

Incidentally, I severely doubt anyone making the "might makes right" argument are looking at the current situation as far as the Leftists and Globalists taking over everything and just shrugging and saying: "That's how it's worked for all of human history."

As if it my personal philosophy... It's just the nature of states, the entity that holds a monopoly on violence is the legitimate government of a given area
Oh, so since the commies are taking over, they're the legitimate government with the monopoly on violence?

Heard about this sad news story earlier this morning on Fox News.

This, and let's not forget that a lot of the problems America has going on right now. Come from tactics OUR government used on a lot of these other nations during the cold war. Example: the Fentanyl epidemic.

Don't pretend that any power-that-is won't abuse their power to supress those who oppose and/or disagree with them.

My great-great-great grandparents left Japan in the 1850s because "being Catholic" was illegal.

If they win, then yes they unfortunately are. Why are you arguing with me about this anyway? What would the alternative be? This entire train of thought is leftist in nature to begin with, so if you hate them so much why are you making their arguments for them?

Then by that definition the Right has been making the lefts argument for the past five to ten years now. Heck some of the right wing arguments of today WERE the left wing arguments of 5, years ago.

Suddenly cultural appropriation, racial miscasting in media, and historical inaccuracies In fiction being racist are all right wing issues now and something for conservatives to be enraged about. Despite the fact that I distinctly remember that being an issue amongst SJWs. But hey according to everyone else we were always at war with Oceana.


All Captain X is saying is that both sides will use the same argument when it suits them.

The commies didn't win. As the local leftie socialist I want things to be the 50s ideal: your wife gets to stay at home while you work and the kids go to school.

That wasn't really possible in the '50s for Americans who weren't like my great-grandparents. They could afford to send all three of their kids to college in the 1940s ... when only about 1/20 Americans did get more than a HS education.

We are discussing a hypothetical of *if* they win in the future are they legitimate.

The libertarians already won. The question is the marginal tax rate on rich people -- and how to enforce it -- which those in the middle class are opposed to but will never be subjected to.

Sweetie, if you aren't making at least $275/hr you aren't in the highest tax bracket.

Again, this is unrelated to anything we are discussing here. We are talking about what makes a legitimate state and you seem to be going off on some hilariously unrelated tangent.

Cool, this is still not related tho

The alternative would be to fight, obviously. It just strikes me as pretty stupid to make the kind of argument you did. Should no one have resisted the Nazis? They were the legitimate government, after all.

What the fuck are you talking about? We are discussing a hypothetical scenario where victory has already been achieved, and how having that victory and holding the land, holding the monopoly on violence over it, makes you the legitimate government over the land. This entire sentence is a fallacy and seems to be the product of someone who hasn't followed the chain of discussion at all. Seriously not a single one of these sentences is an actual response to any comment I've made in this thread and they are at best appeals to emotion, at worse complete non-sequiturs.
