    I see, forcing my friend to go into debt when I could give them a way to avoid doing that would be not exploiting them. And thus worshiping property like a god. Because if the revolution happens, I will be shot for helping my friend have a home.

    This all makes a great deal of sense.

        Yes, you’ve already made it clear that refusing to let my friend live in my otherwise empty home at what it would have cost me, making no profit for myself, rather than making them go into debt to buy a home and selling my home for a profit is the only way to get free from the capitalist blood cult I worship.

        No profits is a cornerstone of capitalism, after all.

          You’ve already made it clear that you are incapable of imagining a world without the blood cult known as capitalism.

            I’m capable of imagining it, but it’s not the world I live in. I live in a world where people go into massive debt if they buy houses and those houses cost money to maintain whether I like it or not.

            But I will take your “helping friends means you’re a capitalist vampire” criticism to heart and never help anyone again. Altruism is, after all, evil. Anti-capitalist Ayn Rand said so.
