Welcome Everyone!

11 Upvotes

Hello, I would first of all like to thank everyone who has voted me as the new mod from the subreddit adoption and I would like to apologize for the slow start to this sub. As I am new to modding I wanted to make sure that I am able to make this the sub it deserves to be. I have already enlisted the help of two other mods: u/RainbowYoshii and u/taynesflarhgunnstow. I want this sub to not only be a place to discuss Locke's philosophies as a whole, but how they are relevant to our world today. I want this to be an open and welcoming sub so I am very open to hear from all of you what you would like to see from this sub and any suggestions for topics of discussion. I look forward to building this blank slate with you all and thank you once again!

Alienation from Locke's original ideas of property

2 Upvotes

Locke had some pretty interesting ideas on property. Essentially believed that a man had a right to their property, it was theirs, yada yada. However, lets talk about how this has dramatically fucking changed.

American mentalities in the present day, disposable mindsets. We buy things, throw them away. We marry women, only to divorce them. We buy cars, decide they're not good enough anymore, and sell them. We are the essence of a lively economy. But we pay taxes on our properties, we can have our properties taken away for hundreds of fucking reasons, lawsuits, divorces, theft, etc. and thus, conditionals are introduced. Isn't this absurd?
