Simple thesis on the state

The state mainly provides the following services:

- roads and public infrastructure (public buildings, monuments, parks)

- public health

- security (police, army and intelligence services, judicial system)

- public education

- social benefits (retirement, sick leave, disability).

It should be noted that these services may vary from country to country, but in particular I am talking about European countries where the state has a monopoly on these services. For example, although the state offers public health care, a citizen can opt for private health care, but in practice, given the little purchasing power left to the citizen after paying taxes, it is unlikely that the citizen has the economic capacity to access private services, which in practice gives the state a monopoly on this service as there is no demand for services offered by a third party, which leads to a lack of competitiveness.

On the other hand, there are services that the state directly has a monopoly on, such as security, since in Europe the state prevents you from defending yourself by not having the right to possess weapons, and legally self-defense is penalized. In Europe if a thief enters your house you can not shoot him or you go to prison, you can not hit and injure him because the thief could denounce you, therefore, in practice, you have to wait for the police to come, only they can exercise violence.

The rest of the services that people use are private, be it housing, vehicles, banks, clothes, food, leisure, investments, engineering, lawyers, and any service you can think of throughout your life. In addition, all services offered by the state are also offered by private companies, such as highways, education, security in the case of private security agencies, health care or pensions themselves.

Although the services offered by the state are ridiculous in number compared to the amount of private services that people use in their daily lives, the state makes us believe that the services that the state offers cannot be offered privately and more efficiently when with the exception of the judicial system the rest are also offered privately, even armies (Wagner, Blackwater), but the saddest thing is that in Europe the state takes more than 50% of the GDP, that is, the money that its citizens have earned in a year, in the payment of these services.

It is a discourse that is not logical in its formulation and from an economic point of view does not hold, it is simply a robbery.

Summary: The state steals more than 50% of your wealth by offering you shitty services.

Bitcoin conferences are bullshit, it's like social media posturing.

I'm more about doing than saying, and mostly more about hiding than showing, I value my privacy too much.

But hey, I accept that most people need to socialize and perceive the group feeling, it's human nature.

What does terrify me, is that, at this point, people and especially bitcoiners in particular trust politicians, and that both bitcoiners and politicians attend the same conferences.

What is the point that is not understood? There is no right and left, it is a false dichotomy, there are no good politicians and bad politicians, there is only the system, the employees of the system and the slaves of the system.

If you support politicians, whatever color they are and whoever they are, you simply support the system.

And what is the system? The system is an extractive machinery of the wealth of the people who live in a certain geographically delimited territory, a parasite.

What you really have to see is the extractive capacity of the state, to realize that it has no limits and that it does not matter the underlying ideology.

This graph shows the percentage of taxes collected by some governments from 1868 to 2008. It is a pity that the graph is not updated to 2023 because clearly the minimum would already be above 50%.

This is what really matters, and it's not going to change no matter who you vote for, taxes just go up and up and up.

Stop believing in politicians and start believing in yourself.

Bolsominion fanático é chato pq só vê solução através de Bolsonaro e briga com todos por isso e ñ se dá conta.
