Refusing to fund a corrupt govt & otherwise being productive in defiance of govt controls is about the only peaceful action one can take. Protesting is mostly just toothless whining (which is why the left does so much of it). You don't join the mafia to make it better, you just work to undermine & defy them in whatever way you can.

100% agreed, be the change you want to see in the world.
Absolutely, but a person generally can't go from paying taxes one day to paying zero tomorrow. And personally I still can't make my own fuel, or buy it tax free, so tax resistance is a process. Does it really make sense to attack Bitcoiners, who are at least resisting inflation, as though they are trying to avoid responsibility for making things better? Saving in Bitcoin puts a person far ahead of the norm, IMO.
I also agree with that. I'm not attacking anyone, I'm just saying we're all responsible for the situation we're in. In other words, my personal character flaws are a microcosm of the flaws of my government. I can't expect my government to be fiscally responsible if I don't make that a priority. It's exactly what bitcoiners are good at pointing out, phrased differently.
I'm all for taking responsibility where responsibility is due & working to do all that is within our power to change what we can, but refusing to place proper blame on the pedophiles & tyrants who have worked to decieve & steal from everyone is to sacrifice the good to evil. Saddling yourself or others with underserved guilt is a form of evil too.
