you liked about liking to pay taxes tho, i have heard plenty about how you don't like what the government is doing and your taxes empower that

i'm right now pondering maybe i will skip getting a license and just save for a bit and get a super long range capable high powered electric scooter for getting around, i've seen ones that claim over 100km range and if it has regenerative brakes it might actually come close to enabling me to travel all the way to Funchal on a charge

There is a lot of space between minarchy and anarchy. I'd like to starve the government and force it to be more efficient with its resources, not completely abolish it.

i think minarchism is a pipe dream and central to the myths surrounding the formation of the federation of the USA, which was as dramatically revealed by Musk's DOGE to be absolutely endemic to the entire bureaucracy

the prescription in the bible that you can read about in Samuel is precisely a polycentric law system and absolutely no kings or anything similar to kings, and modern liberal democracy and monarchy both share a lot of basic principles

i want to be answerable only to the people who are my neighbours, the inevitable and repeated story of empires over the last 2000 years has shown that as soon as you start delegating your rights to the hands of "representatives" who you never get to talk to is tyranny
