        Damn, guess I shouldn’t have been paying my taxes.

        Guess that’s just the violence inherent in the system.

          Unfortunately, not paying taxes isn’t really an option. If there’s one thing the government enjoys doing and does well is collect taxes, regardless of how failed that government is. The broken government is more likely to be extra shitty on the penalty though, unless you’re rich of course, in which case you don’t have to pay taxes.

          Well, then they’ll just send some cops to your place, beat you within an inch of your life, and demand the protection money.

      It functions pretty well at enriching a select few corporations and wealthy elites.

      I’m constantly questioning my sanity because everyone pretends the Untied States is still a functional, stable country. I know Canadians still choosing to live part time in the Untied States. Are they that unaware? Do they just not care? Even if they don’t care about other people, they should be questioning their own safety as non-citizens in Trump’s America. Why are so many people still acting like everything is normal?
