This is one of the most effective propaganda lines to keep idiots voting for less taxes for the rich and corporations.
You didn't stop paying taxes, you started getting services and representation in your legislature in exchange for paying taxes.
Ironically, you guys pay taxes to Israel in exchange for nothing now.
you guys pay taxes to Israel in exchange for nothing now.
Nonsense, we get free trips to the desert (god's idea of a chosen land) to go lick rocks!
Lemmy is starting to really tire me out with constant negativity. The niche comms I sub to are mostly quiet, and the big ones it seems like everyone is at each other's throats.
This was a joke, in shitposts. I thought it was worth a chuckle, but not really worth dissection and all the negative energy.
then don't be part of the community? you're not being held back.
Thanks for providing evidence to my point, I guess...
How is me giving you advice on leaving the community because you don't like what people post evidence to what you said?
Because saying "get out" to someone commenting that they think the vibes are harsh is pretty negative.
I am not directing you to get out but that's what I generally did if I didn't like what the community was about, I ain't wasting energy complaining about it.
Edit: Apologies if I am being blunt about it, I feel like the rise in negative posts could be correlating to the current political environment of our glorious circus of a country, people are unhappy, so they post unhappy things.
kinda like how during ussr there were a lot of really sad songs that were released, it's people were just generally depressed.
Or you could just make an effort to be more kind instead of telling people who are having a hard time to get lost...
You exemplified the attitude I was talking about in a single sentence.
no what? your main point was about community level user posts containing "constant negativity", not me being an ass in the comment section. I am just some random moron on the internet that decided to leave my own two cents about what you stated originally.
I don't have any obligation to show kindness to random people nor do I expect any back on the internet.
I never told you to get lost, you can stay here for all I care, stop trying to twist this into you being a victim.
Ugh. How does MA have to keep reminding this part of history?
No taxation WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. Having a voice was the important part. But asking people to parse a conditional is too much.
“If you breathe mercury, jump off a bridge.”
“You’re telling me to jump off a bridge!???”
You americans can always crawl back to the king of england and ask for forgiveness
Then don't get the fireworks? I'm a huge advocate to just ban the entire thing worldwide anyways. Let the cities organize big shows but no private sales, it's massively wasteful for both your pockets and the environment.
When we quit paying taxes... to England.
It's a half thought, but anything sounds deep to a giant idiot.
Based and lib pilled
Are people under the impression that the US revolution and independence was specifically about not paying taxes? That's some libertarian shit right there.
It's the narrative pushed In alot of schools in the USA
I distinctly remember writing some report about taxation without representation, thinking it was some super important American principle. I was real confused when I learned about Puerto Rico
No one ever accused Americans of being smart.
Listen pal, I wish you were in front of me. Me and my two buddies would take you on, 5 to 1.
Wait, what idiot thinks that the 4th of July is a celebration of not paying taxes?
The U.S. literally started charging insane taxes right as the country began. They even teach Shays Rebellion in school.
If they taught Shays Rebellion in your middle/high school, you went to a much better school than I
The whole story only makes sense through the propaganda lens, brave freedom fighters against an oppressive government taxing them for no reason.
Then you read the actual context and it's a bunch of new aristocracy high on slave money mad that the empire refuses to let them expand past the boarders established in a war that benefited them and they are now having to pay taxes for.
You know what's also not cool. Making using fireworks illegal because it might cause a fire but don't ban the selling of fireworks.
We didn’t quit paying taxes. We just quit paying unfair taxes to the Crown.
