Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 01 May 2024 - Adverse Possession

 

Adverse Possession

A person (or persons) occupying land owned by someone else.  This can be justified because of the precedent of "colonization", which is how everyone here has their land – they took it through adverse possession (aka squatting).  Squatters are therefore justified in using legal loopholes to make their claims, with the belief that the land of those abandoned projects can be reclaimed.  Since the colonizers took the land from the native people, it’s a process that can be justly used to take that land back.  Technically, this can be extended to other property situations as well.  For example, "theoretically" anyone on the street should be able to boost an unoccupied car and drive it, because that car is just sitting around.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 13 Oct 2023 - Involuntary Camping

 

Involuntary Camping

By decree of the Ministry of Love, anyone found sleeping on city streets is clearly doing so involuntarily if there is no room in public-run homeless shelters, even if they have other options.  These people have a constitutional right to be protected from the "cruel and unusual punishment" of being fined or arrested for violating the law because "they can't help it".  A compassionate society has a duty to provide accommodations for all who say they need it.  To prevent future "involuntariness", the obligation exists for handing out basic income, food, phones, and even free cab rides for the intoxicated.
