Poses a greater threat… Says the activist who was close to death in jail after being arrested for “Tax Evasion” by the Chinese Government (and was rarely asked about his tax)
That’s got nothing to do with his stance on censorship. Also, fuck taxes.
Yeah fuck roads and national parks too. Fuck voting for free and running water. Hate that shit.
Also f this false equivalency bs.
I was thinking more “fuck bombs and guns and f32s and israel etc” but the tiny fraction spent on good stuff is cool i guess. “voting” as if your vote hasnt been disenfranchised through gerrymandering, suppression and supreme court meddling. half the country’s roads are falling into disrepair from that infrastructure crisis we keep failing to address. Tell running water to the state of michigan. token natural preservation projects that are constantly being encroached.
No, I insist: Fuck taxes.
And yet when taxes are cut they manage to cut the roads and parks and welfare but not the guns and bombs. And they don’t even bother keeping taxes low for the poor, just slash them for the rich
No, I insist: fuck anti taxists
wait, why are we fighting? I think we might actually agree. How do you get from (I’m heavily inferring here, correct me if I’m wrong) “yes, vote is suppressed, yes, our infrastructure is falling apart, yes our programs are underfunded, yes the military budget is obscene” to “our taxes are good actually?” Maybe I’m being unspecific. I like the programs you’re describing, I hate how their budgets are dwarfed by obscene bullshit. I want good infrastructure, I want a single-payer healthcare, I want a robust welfare system, I want a functional but small military. Where do we actually disagree, and if we do agree as much as I now suspect, why not jump on the “no taxation without representation” bandwagon?
Because people get wrapped up in the no taxation bit and get taken for a ride on that. I’m on the “cut military spending, fund social programs, and increase democracy” bandwagon. I’m on the “representation or fucking else” bandwagon.
Comrade. We’re definitely on the same team here; It’s not like I’ve ever not payed owed taxes (though I’ve been fucked out of a refund a few times). So, I don’t know about you, but I’m sure not feeling well represented. How does one go about the “or else” bit?
Okay, considering the whole “perpetual surveillance of the entire internet” thing we have goin on, I’m not surprised you don’t answer the question. Let me ask a completely different question: Are you noticing the same problem that I am, where whenever you point out these obvious problems with society and say “what can we do about this” people start suddenly toeing the party line and whistling stars and stripes? I’ve thought about trying to find a discord or something, but again, “perpetual surveillance of the entire internet” thing we have goin on. I’ve thought about taking to the deep web, but the whole “child porn, hitmen, guns and drugs and conspiracy theorists and infiltration of exit nodes etc” thing turned me way off. Nobody wants to organize in IRL. I’m serious. Do we just stand back and watch? Try and stay out of it, keep heads down? Hope we aren’t targeted by “policy changes?”
