If it belongs to everyone, then I don't personally own it. Only assholes don't understand that.

If it belongs to everyone, everyone personally owns it, and everyone can do whatever they want with it, because it belongs to them. So anyone can take it wherever they want, like, for example, into their home. Why are people only able to comprehend things in the framework of private ownership?

That's not how society works. What a stupid line of thinking.
Go try to build a house in Bryant Park and let us know how it turns out.

You’re so close. So so close. Tell me, since public parks belong to everyone, why can’t I build there? It’s almost as if public property isn’t public, and more like private property owned by a company, which calls itself the “government”. The solution is to steal the private property from the government, and declare it public, until there is no government property left for them to operate from.

It's more like you don't understand the nature of public property or, more generally, organized society. Lol.

If you knew what public means, you would know it makes no sense for it not to belong to the public

You've now repeated yourself, so you can just read back to the top of this thread for my thoughts. Good luck in your crusade to illogically convince people to act like assholes.

Public property is owned by the public.
How does this not make sense to you?

I never said only you personally own it. I said every individual who is part of the public personally owns it. Not everything is private property dude.

That’s irrelevant and only shows that the government is stealing from society, by directing public funding to private projects, and then pretending said private projects are public.

Again, public property is public. If it’s not public, it’s not public property. This isn’t complicated really.
