Does having an AirBNB setup make someone deserving of the guillotine or does that only apply to owners of multiple houses? What about apartments?

Please explain your reasoning as well.

    That’s not what people are saying. The situation itself is immoral, but you would not individually call people doing the best they can within that framework immoral.

    Saying that “there’s no ethical consumption under Capitalism” isn’t damning for the consumers, but for Capitalism itself.

      Thanks for clarifying. Phrased / thought of as “a situation wherein X happens is immoral,” it makes sense.

      My confusion came from not doing that, even after reading the “Remember:” text in the comment, thanks to my conflating my personal belief that the individuals who are part of corporations that purchase houses in mass and rent them out are behaving immorally (vs being actors in an immoral situation) being adjacent with a statement about an individual renting out a room.

      That concept of morality feels more similar to what I think of as “fairness” (though not an exact match) than to individual morality.

      I feel like there must be a different word used to convey the moral judgment of someone who isn’t doing the best they can within the framework - i.e., someone who is choosing to exploit laborers for profit in excess of anything they could use for themselves.
