There are many peninsulas owned by rich people. Of course they get to decide who can enter. Are you against that as well?

Are you against private property all together?

If not, where do you draw the line? Is a private villa acceptable? A private golf course? A hill? A small island?

Can I decide who enters my 220 square meters apartment?

I'm against the super rich, I think tax brackets on the high end should be much higher.

That’s not the point, you told me that you are not fine with a whole peninsula being owned by the same entity.

My question is: where do you draw the line?

Can someone own a 300 sq meters house? A castle? A golf course? A small island?

300 sqm yes, a castle yes, a golf course yes, a small island no.

I also just don't like the church, so there's double the hate at a super rich church.

Well, I suppose the last sentence kind of betrays your bias.
