I am fucking begging you all to understand that governments come into being because violent men do violent things until they gained a monopoly on violence. They don't exist to serve the people. Governments enforce the will of the powerful through violence and the threat of violence. If you don't control the government, you are subject to having violence sued against you for disobeying the orders of that government. Taxation is institutionalized banditry.

Oh hell, you sound indistinguishable from me when I was an insufferable 21 year old. Now I'm embarrassed for both of us.
