Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.
Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

So if I build a house I own the walls and ceiling, but not the ground floor?
The ground floor is usually on top of a foundation that is on top of the land, no? I guess if it was a dirt floor, you wouldn’t own it.
Would you be able to own a marble countertop in your kitchen? Who owns the quarry it came from?
Nice thing I could also just park my car on every bit of dirt.
I guess that depends on what they meant by “land”. Is marble land?
Or maybe no marble for anyone. The only materials we can use are non-land based.
Good luck even owning a car if the metal and fuel have to be taken from the land! A wooden frame bicycle would be possible, maybe? Would you be able to use rubber? Idk anything about how rubber is processed, but that also probably uses land-based stuff either as a fuel or some sort of chemical.
Lmao that’s an intentional misunderstanding. They are obviously referring to land which has been claimed by a private entity just for the sake of ‘land value’ because this leads to hoarding and unnecessary scarcity. If one develops a farm on that land, then they should be entitled to a significant share of the profits reflective of their investment of time and resources, but those who dedicate labor to working that land should also be entitled to an ownership share.
The premise is that land should not be snatched up and ‘owned’ in its entirety, especially for prospective reasons, when the ‘owner’ is not providing any value through their ‘ownership’. This is just greed institutionalized.
In reality, all land belongs to the earth and we are just a bunch of monkeys fighting eachother over fictional rights to that land in the pursuit of power and influence over other monkeys.
