Oddbean new post about login | logout If you agree to pay taxes they are not stolen from you
You can make it up as much as you want and fool yourself, but it's not like that, a robbery is like that, you have no alternative, so no matter how much you give your consent, it's still a robbery.
So you believe there are no people that wouldn’t pay taxes voluntarily?
That's not the question. There certainly would be people voluntarily paying something. I do this all the time when I donate to certain projects. But you are not voluntarily paying taxes. That's a lie to stomach the massive abuse going on for millennia against the integrity of body and soul of individuals. It's a massive trauma that a part of you shields you from.
No, it's theft. It stays theft. Why? Because you can not remove your consent. If you could. I would agree. But in case you stop agreeing they will kidnapped you and abuse you physically. Stop lying to yourself. Most of us have been there. Convenient lies over harsh truths is just too sweet sometimes to resist. But it won't get you anywhere in life.
I think you didn’t understand what I said.
And I guess you don't understand what an agreement means. If you can't leave an abusive relationship, the next best thing to do is agree with it to not feel the pain.
I’m not talking about agreeing because I don’t have any other choice. I’m talking about actually agreeing.
Now I understand. You agree with yourself and some other gang members to extort and coerce me against my will. I call this abuse and a criminal offence. Thanks to Bitcoin and even more so Monero you don't have power over me. Mind your own business.
Sorry for stating an example. But may it be for the betterment of your life and everybody connected to it. You show a form of traumatisation. There is nothing wrong with trauma. In this world everybody gets to be traumatised in one way or another. Your job as an adult is to work through the trauma so you can choose the life you want to live instead of pushing fixes for your unresolved trauma via societal structures onto everybody else creating and recreating new trauma. How do I know you are traumatised? Well losing sensitivity so you can not differentiate abuse from mutual agreement is one hint. Another one us that you want to use some bigger force outside of you to fix things/you. A third one is that ignorance of the pain so it doesn't disturb your "well" functionjng in everyday life. nostr:nevent1qqszl8ry50flgnj3ernjnl0dqkzq03nc9za940me4gctp0gf0g94r3qpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzq7w5xstkker5t5ne8nes0usfvl38jy5efahgzceduxx6xyrv9ja5qvzqqqqqqynmnrls
