Ok yes you’re right, I hate freedom and human rights. Long live slavery!! Silly argument. Look, I fundamentally disagree with “taxation is theft.” In fact I think high earners should be taxed even more than they are. I make a half a million a year in the fiat mines so I’m including myself in that set. Tax me! But I also think that our political system is failing us. If the choice is between trump and biden then fuck me.
I like you.

So you believe that freedom can be separated from your earnings & your right to self protection? What amount of what I earn belongs to someone else? Why do you think theft is wrong? I think theft is a form of retroactive enslavement. The time it took me to earn a thing (once that thing is stolen) is now going to serve someone else. Similarly, if I am working half the year to fund an organization that does things I hate & that threatens me with a cage if I don't pay them, then I am 50% a slave. Govts of course want people to believe that slavery is some sort of race based caricature with whips & chains so that their own human tax livestock can't identify what is being done to them. Why don't you just give away more of your money? Why do you feel the need to encourage authoritarians to take more from others? You don't want the responsibility of deciding what your work helps to contribute to? I think there are a lot of people who don't like how they make money & as a result they feel guilty for having it.
