That link is far too specific. This one gets the point across much more clearly.

you forgot to append the #Against anchor.

it should be depressing many people still don't comprehend the problem with compulsory larceny.

Oh I just now realized that you're calling taxes, "compulsory larceny". Literally just "tax is theft" with a pseudointellectual patina.

Lol ok bud. Go live on SeaLand or some shit

Wait, taxes can now be voluntary?
’Cause mutual aid is something we praxis, but being threatened with violence for not complying to your burglary is “pseudointellectualism”?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, trying to sound smart by using big words was the pseudointellectual part.

"Taxes are theft" is just the stupid bullshit I believed when I was 12 years old.

Then either you're highly confused what /c/ you're in, or you really believe we should gulag you for the community’s sake.
You can't be anarchist and want to rob people. Those are incompatible practices.

Triple checked, “12 year old dictionary friendly words.”
