It always rolls back to property, and who can "own" what. It is the foundational belief of white Europeans that they can "own" the land, and "own" the "things". It was antithetical to how the Americas Indigenous Peoples viewed the land. It is one part of "how we got here as a country" so quickly. The other, of course, is another type of "ownership"; human enslavement.

And the disdain we have for those who do not own anything and are living on our streets. (I don't know what my point is - maybe that because we are all in it for ourselves and not caring for each other)?
