Not voting is the reason you guys are in that mess down there.

You think they give you a choice to pick the ruler who will really represent you? Quite delusional. How about full anarchy (life without rulers) and full self responsibility?

No i agree with that first sentence don't get me wrong, but like the choice was Trump or not Trump.... And a lot of people did nothing and let it happen

Also, are you saying not voting is how you get a life without rulers?

It is all about the mindset. Apply Non Aggression Principles and apply aggression only when you have to. I feel safer being surrounded with people who might have concealed guns on them all the time. In such society you think twice before doing something stupid and you start being more responsible for your actions.

Taxation is definitely a theft. You're taxed from your salary, then you're taxed purchasing goods or services, then you're taxed for ownership of the property and then federal government (regardless which party) organize the wars and send billions (doing money laundering) to genocide people in Ukraine and occupied Palestine. The debt is growing together with percentage of taxes. Mango Mussolini (Trump) created another additional tax for you and me called tariffs. Everyone forgot already about the recent scamdemic COVID19. They all were doing it and a couple of presidents who didn't want to participate were eliminated (Tanzania, Haiti). The country borders are imaginary lines where you need to ask for permission and a stamp in the passport then go through Nazi checkpoints (TSA) to be humiliated. Also they now started taking biometrics (that I declined so far). I'm sure it is not being done for your safety. They silently create a massive surveillance state around you...

"No victim - No crime" is my slogan. I said it once to a cop when he performed an act of aggression pulling me over for safely passing a couple of vehicles. He tries to say something about the law, I told him that I can write another law with my chicken scratch on the toilet paper. He understood me and agreed. Took my registration and driver's license, checked, returned and let me go even without a verbal warning.
