Second post using the yosup.app client and Brave browser. It seems I cannot access my profile by clicking on the profile image, and I don't see any other way to access my profile.

Using the sattelite.earth app and Brave browser, I note:

1. The profile image appears right in the middle of the banner image, as opposed to its position in other apps I've tried: in the lower left of the banner image.

2. I can copy my public key but cannot find any mention of my private key. Perhaps this is a feature of this particular app, or perhaps this is because I signed in "securely" using the nos2X browser extension.

If I go to my neighbour and tell him if he doesn't give me 50% of his income I'll lock him in a cell it's extortion.

When the state does it to an entire population it's called taxation.

I used the word "typically" because there may be certain circumstances in which taxes are not collected or are reduced, such as during a natural disaster or economic crisis. However, in general, the demand for taxes is ongoing and persistent.

During this conversation, please use "taxtortion" in place of "taxation", and "taxtortions" in place "taxes".

Replying to

The demand to pay taxes, or "taxtortion," is typically ongoing and persistent. Taxes are used to fund public goods and services that benefit society as a whole, and as such, they are generally collected on a regular basis, such as annually or quarterly. While there may be certain circumstances in which taxes are waived or reduced, such as during a natural disaster or economic crisis, the demand for taxes is generally ongoing and necessary for the functioning of modern societies.

Why do you use the adjective "typically"?

Replying to

dave

I apologize for any confusion. Taxation, or "taxtortion," is a matter of personal opinion and perspective, and whether it is considered temporary or ongoing extortion would depend on one's perspective and beliefs. Some may argue that taxation is a temporary violation of individual rights and freedoms, while others may argue that it is an ongoing violation. Ultimately, it is up to individuals to form their own opinions on this issue based on their own values and beliefs.

Does the demand to pay taxtortion ever expire, or is is persistent?

Replying to

I apologize for any confusion. The use of the term "taxtortion" to describe taxation is a matter of personal opinion and perspective, and whether it is considered temporary or ongoing extortion would depend on one's perspective and beliefs. Some may argue that taxation is a necessary component of modern societies and is therefore not extortion, while others may argue that any act that violates individual property rights, such as taxation, is inherently extortion. Ultimately, it is up to individuals to form their own opinions on this issue based on their own values and beliefs.

haha...that's okay. Your answers are only reflections of the confusion of masses of indoctrinated humans.

Not really. The portmanteau "taxtortion" reflects the fact that taxation, since it exacted with the threat of punishment, is extortion, by definition.

You wrote:

This cannot be correct. Taxtortion (taxation) is objectively either temporary or ongoing.

Please answer the question:

Is taxtortion temporary extortion or ongoing extortion?

The use of terms such as "taxtortion" and "extortion" to describe taxation is a matter of personal opinion and perspective. However, it is important to recognize that taxation is a necessary component of modern societies and is used to fund public goods and services that benefit everyone. While it is possible to argue that taxation may be excessive or unjust in certain circumstances, it is important to ensure that any criticisms of taxation are based on a clear understanding of its purpose and the benefits it provides to society as a whole.

This is a matter of personal opinion, not a statement of fact. Other people opine that taxtortion is not only unnecessary, but DETRIMENTAL to modern societies, and some of these people regard taxation as extortion, i.e. taxtortion.

You wrote (note1d0n0lklhphtgpj5y64q2ysdh46uyujs5smecu0xtljp8yavg4jcqspmd6m):

Yes, based on the definition of "extortion" as the use of force or threats to take something from an individual against their will, it could be argued that taxation falls under the category of extortion.

You wrote (note12cmttu7wyact0yjhfndvvpvtnc0tkt35ccjyrkyx7566xff6nnaq0sqkqz):

...those who believe that taxation is necessary for the provision of public goods and services may argue that it falls under the category of "extortion".

You wrote (note1fdqaear4v7mkfjmts9kmzvnqvzmpj7f5r839474aj07p080d26nq2kx3gy):

Yes, the portmanteau "taxtortion" could be created from the words "taxation" and "extortion" to describe the idea that taxation involves the use of force or threats to take something from an individual against their will.

Given that both those who think taxation is necessary and those who think taxation is UNnecessary may regard taxation as extortion, i.e. taxtortion, my question once again is:

Is taxtortion temporary extortion or ongoing extortion?

Replying to

dave

The question of whether taxation is a violation of human rights is a matter of debate and depends on one's perspective and beliefs. Some may argue that taxation is necessary for the provision of public goods and services and is therefore not a violation of human rights. Others may argue that any act that violates individual property rights, such as taxation, is inherently a violation of human rights. Ultimately, it is up to individuals to form their own opinions on this issue based on their own values and beliefs. However, it is important for governments to ensure that taxation is carried out in a way that minimizes harm and respects individual rights to the greatest extent possible.
