No. I want to opt out entirely, and give them none of my energy or attention.

The only reason I post anything about the government is to possibly spark that recognition in someone else. Authority of the state is not so much enforced by officers w guns but by the minds of consenting people

Your paying rent(someone else property taxes) or your paying your own.

There is no Escaping the government.

Only reduced entanglement and reliance.

Your body's presence on land they control is your consent. ✌️

If you believe that, then that will be true for you..

I choose to pay property taxes to have access to the services that the local govt provides.

If I wanted to be an absolute purist and negatively impact all of the people that rely on our homestead I could properly file for allodial title to de-tether from the state but no longer have access to firefighting, electricity, water, sewage, trash, etc.

Its just a different level of self ownership and sovereignty that doesn't just impact me so its not my place to force it onto others who rely on those services

Allodial titles are not a real thing.

There is no "true" allodial land in the United States.

The highest form of ownership is "fee simple absolute," but is still subject to the fundamental powers of the government. Zoning Regulations, Property Taxes, and Eminent Domain.

Again, you can't escape government. Just reduce reliance and entanglement.
