why would i fucking care about the rest of what you have to say, liar? You're not here arguing in good faith, why would I bother?

  1. assets plural

a. the property of a deceased person subject by law to the payment of his or her debts and legacies

b. the entire property of a person, association, corporation, or estate applicable or subject to the payment of debts

  1. ADVANTAGE, RESOURCE

a. an item of value owned

b. assets plural the items on a balance sheet showing the book value of property owned

Hey now, something strange is going on here - see, when I visit that page, there aren't just 3 items. Now, you wouldn't be selectively ignoring parts of your own source to paint a certain narrative, would you? Because the 4th item I see is

4 : something useful in an effort to foil or defeat an enemy: such as
a : a piece of military equipment

b : spy

I'm sure you simply... overlooked it in your excitement. Now you're aware though, I'm sure you'll be happy to correct your comments.

To be clear, being a troll or a paid actor doesn’t make you someone’s property.

Ok, I give up, I have no idea if you're doing a bit. Like I felt kinda confident you were serious, but this leaves me floundering. Purposely obtuse because you've talked yourself into such a stupid corner, or just that incredibly obtuse that you unironically think asset means property? Absolutely no way to tell which one it is.

People love to talk about self reliance without thinking about it too hard - you're not on your own, you're entirely dependent on cooperating with others for your way of life. You did not builld you house, your car, your clothes, your bed. You did not grow your food, you did not mine the oil in your plastic products, nor refine it into them. You do not generate the electricity that powers your home and devices, you did not build the generator or infrastructure that brings power to you. Even the smallest things - the cutlery you use to eat, the soap you wash with, the bed you sleep on - were made by others for your use.

Self reliance is a capitalist myth that's inherently disproven by modern civilisation.

You mean people have repeatedly pointed out you don't hold the values of the person you named yourself after? Should that not prompt at least a little introspection?

It was the United States which pioneered the idea of the modern mail system

The UK had a general post office that deliverd to individuals over 100 years before the USA was founded. The US postal system is based on the UK one that delivered their mail before the US's founding. Why on earth would you think the US pioneered it?

Couple of small issues with that idea: can't hide from the big fiery sauron eye, and nazguls on pteradactyls.

who thought that getting a cheesy splatter film director was a great decision?

Honestly on paper that sounds pretty good, Borderlands should really work as a bit of a campy gorefest. Just... not Eli Roth.
