Legally, "permission to be where you are" is a right reserved for the capital class. Even in my home my right to stay only lasts for 60 days and then I am subject to whatever forms of violence are necessary to remove me so that a pre-designated member of the capital class can be where I am.

From here it's miles to a place where I have the right to urinate, and tens of miles to a place where I have a right to sleep, and to my knowledge there is nowhere in my country where I have a right to do subsistence farming, or steward any kind of ancestral resource.

Agreed. We are manipulated by the system. Corporations force us to move to bigger cities where rent is more expensive, living space is smaller and quality of life is lower.

Humans are farmed like poultry - City humans are caged chickens, suburban humans are the "free range" variety.

Corporations want to see more humans per square feet because that's more profitable for them. The energy savings we contribute to by living in big cities ultimately end up in the hands of corporate executives and shareholders as cash.

It strikes me as curious as to how you've taken his complaints, which seem largely based on government-imposed restrictions, and subverted the point to be anti-capitalist.

That said, how do corporations force you to live in cities? How do corporations then profit from you living in a city? How does either city or suburban living map to whether you are a member of the capital class or not.

…and rural humans are space aliens.

That's a brilliant statement, on many levels.

One might chose to refine it by changing "legally" to some other word, such as "practically". The rich are not governed by the laws of men.
