This is quite possibly the most bizarre framing I've seen on this question.

What percentage of homeowners do you think _inherited_ a house?

Do you also extend this to food? The person who sells the vegetables from their back yard causing the same "harm" as a corporate farm?

What even.

Every power analysis starts with questions of scale and the institutional power at play, not the experience of individuals. An individual may experience bigotry for being a male, but that's not the same as _misandry_ (as opposed to misogyny, which is systemic and structural).

An individual may experience bigotry for being white, but in the US you won't experience _racism_ for being white.

Because institutional power changes the nature of bigotry

Even to the degree I agree that the dynamics are different for an "inherited" house (which I don't particularly, though it changes some of the individual morality involved, houses are still expensive, costs on them are highly variable, and there's a lot that goes into living together) it is not even in the same reality of harm as what happens with capital's involvement.
