Even without reading notifs, can hear the defensiveness now. "I don't own land. I've only been a renter."

Oh, and how do those systems of stolen-land rents continue to operate? Not your place to have feelings about that?

Has you ever been subject wage-exploitation in a place of work? On what stolen land was that workplace located? Not your place to have feelings about that?

Have you ever shopped in a store where you are expected to pay for things to continue living? Where was that store located? Not your place to have feelings about that?

Been a student in a school? Driven on a road? Received electricity, phone, water, sewage, internet over a distribution network of any kind? Those physical services are where? Not your place to have feelings about that?

#LandBack ain't about homeownership. It's about whiteness. It's about colonialism. It's about an entire society that harms everyone in it—based on privileges granted through stolen land.

Not your place to have feelings about that?
