Gov is absolutely evil, there is no degree.
Discussion
Idealistically indeed. In practice you are already accepting a degree.
I'm not accepting a degree, I'm coerced. There is a difference.
No totally true. You could move and be subject to a govmt with a lesser degree of coercion yet you are accepting the degree you are subject to by living where you are probably because it is more practical and still living an acceptable degree of coercion. Again degrees.
That's not right, where I usually am, I don't pay any taxes, except VAT but that is unavoidable because stores are forced to collect them. So I always choose the least coercion possible, but never accepting it. When I opt in is because I don't want to go to jail, which is coercion, otherwise I send a big "fuck off" to the gov.
Understood. Thanks for the exchange, it’s definitely interesting exercising the skills of a healthy disagreement when there are intelligent and respectful counter arguments. Have a great weekend!
