Man, every reply seems to be answering a question that was not asked (not intentionally, anyway).

Understanding that I'm blursed with a neurodivergence that comes with communication challenges, I can usually narrow down the source of confusion in situations like this. However, I can't seem to figure this one out.

At my age, I have enough wisdom to know that I should just give up by now... Yet still enough foolishness to keep going anyway. So here I go :/...

eminent domain is just something the government can do in the USA.

So, going back up to the top-level comment where this all started, they said "We should use Eminent Domain to take majority control in stock in every publicly traded company." Also, you said "you take the land and all the equipment and/or resources on it."

If it's just something the government can do, how do "we"/"you" use eminent domain to do these things? Like, I don't even know what the first few steps would be, so I'm literally asking how to do this.

You might not have that in your country and I totally understand you not getting how it works.

I'm in the USA :/. Do most people know how to do this?

it is a tool that has overwhelmingly been used to fuck over minorities and the poor. With your questioning, you sound like you are supporting it only being used that way.

I feel like it's extremely foolish to ask this again, but...

How???

I reviewed all of my previous replies, and can't find a single thing that sounds like I support literally anything at all.

If anything... If my replies were written by someone else, and I tried to reach really far as a reader... I suppose asking how to take action could maybe imply support for – not against – "[using] Eminent Domain to take majority control in stock in every publicly traded company." How did I manage to convey the opposite tone (or any tone at all) while not even understanding how to do the thing?

Multiple people have replied to me in this thread, so I'm clearly the common denominator. It would be valuable for me to understand how we got here. Can someone please help me untangle this? TBH, I'm interested in understanding these interactions more than eminent domain.
