      In all likelyhood the adversary isn’t taking my apartment. It’s taking the factories I don’t own. Maybe working conditions would be worse afterwards. Maybe they’d better. Gotta check who’s invading.

      For example, if I look at Gaza or Ukraine, I can’t see it as “damage to rich private property rights”.
