where does the line get crossed from hierarchy to government?
I'm a minarchist
define that for me
i am unfamiliar with that term
If I was king of the world, I'd roll back government to the minimal involvement possible
so you have no issue with government
if that turned out to be 0, it would be 0
I think, pragmatically, government might be neccesary
but it has to be as small as possible
and I won't deny that it is a violent gang
what nation do you live in?
australia
lol
have you ever experienced violence at the hand of a representative of australia?
ppl in vc is on a roll
@AiarUther even still the argument that taxation is theft is mute if there is no goal behind making it
so yes
#NoLivesMatter
@AiarUther have you ever driven on roads?
but there is a reason you are making it, why?
because it's true?
I like saying true things
truth is meaningless with lack of purpose
God doesn't exist, is also true
what is truth? if it is not to have an impact?
but do you agree it's the truth or not?
which taxation is theft or god doesnt exist?
i assume the first one
Well the first one, but you can argue the second one, as well, if you choose.
well i would rather enjoy that, but yes i agree with the first premise tentatively, i do not belive it is enough to argue against the pragmatic arguement
but if you set asside the pragmatic argument
would you agree that taxation is theft?
yes ignoring that context
because I think any appropriation of property without consent is theft.
important point is consent
i agree to an extent
but people don't consent to taxation
they don't consent to murder laws either
But you can't murder someone without running into their right to own their own life
