Lmao good point. Should have said "most philosophers agree'

Aren't most philosophers unanimous on this? That the concept of free will can only exist in a world with beings that can act outside the natural world (i.e. god).

So the interesting part in my mind for this is that you would die and be gone, there would just exist another entity that can perfectly replicate you. Take for example the case of there being two of you, which one is the real one? The original? What if I kill the original? Does the new one become the real you? But what if I don't kill you but let the duplicate replace your life. Are you the real you trapped in some cell, or is the duplicate the real you living your life?

My point really is that it's all a matter of perspective. For everyone else the clone would be the real you, but from your perspective you are the real you and the clone stole your life.

It wouldn't have to be communism. We could do it in the US today without changing capital ownership. The government would just have a lot less money to spend on anything else (how much this would be is up for debate).

If I walk through a doorway and let it slam in the face of the person behind me, am I breaking that law?

I mean, car manufacturers do this. And it's much easier to buy a car than a gun.

How about y'all go build houses and toilets for some uncontacted tribe and force them to change their lifestyles?

Kinda off topic but I was so surprised when I visited Colombia and found poor communities living in shacks on the beach. Their properties are worth 10s of millions of US dollars and they refuse to sell because they don't want to give up the lifestyle and community that they have. Really puts into perspective how wrong we can be when we think we are helping people.

Lol I'm so surprised some self hosters are so lazy they can't even make a selection out of a few already curated items. Like would you rather have no options at all (use this ONE project, nothing else matters) or not even have the list and have to find the projects on your own?

Hasn't it been like this since before the US was even a thing?

They would view that as a good thing. Imagine if Germans did the same thing when Hitler took power.

Sounds like a good way to get shot in some states.
