First of all, people are able to state their opinions on a subject without first having to ask questions like:

So they should buy the house, pay the mortgage and let you stay there for free?

This is exactly what I mean by “just asking questions” being disingenuous at best. That’s not a questions someone asks a person if they are legitimately “wanting to understand the other person’s side”.

How can I agree or disagree if I don’t even know the rules

What rules? They made pretty clear statements about their position (unlike you). You can ask them clarifying questions and state your own position on the subject at the same time.

I don’t care for arguments that place individuals in the same category as large corporations.

It’s possible for something to be wrong for both individuals and corporations to take part in. If someone is saying “slavery is bad” I don’t need to hear some bullshit “Corporations who use slave labour are worse than individuals who use slave labour. Leave the individuals alone!” Both are bad. Corporations are worse, yes, but that doesn’t give individuals a free pass. Both need to be stopped.

There are heroes and villains in every industry.

Yes, and the role of government should be to step in and stop the villains.

I did not set up the rules, I’m just following them. In the united states this is unfortunately how it functions.

That is exactly the point. This is how it functions and it shouldn’t be. That doesn’t change by people shrugging their shoulders and saying “it is what it is.” It changes by people making noise about it until the rules are changed.
