If everyone also applied this attitude to their interactions with the state, it would probably bring about the kingdom of heaven 😅
The state rips us off without even asking for permission...
The entanglement is so big that it takes more than being pissed to turn it around....
But I get what you mean. And agree🫂
They don't ask for permission but will eventually tell you it was your own idea.
I have no fool-proof plan to get rid of the state but it'd most certainly involve parallel structures such as bitcoin and nostr, peaceful non-compliance by large parts of the population, and maybe some internal or external catastrophe such as a natural disaster, wide-spread electrical power failure, or hyperinflation. I hope it won't need the latter three, though.
The classic playbook for revolutions of raising a bigger army than the tyrant has at his command would most likely only result in the replacement of one oppressive occupying force with another, see almost every revolution for details, except for maybe the American and Mexican but even those devolved into tyranny over time.
We are giving our consent...either by silence or by complacency. All this BS about private data and consent for treatment of private data is a way of having people to be "forced" to give consent....most people don't even read, they just click the button to be able to do what they want.
Well, technically, in most legal systems, you can't consent under duress, so on a moral level, you could consider all of that null and void 🤷♂️
