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 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
nor do people consent to laws against speeding
therefore murder is inherently wrong
that doesnt affect anyones rights
I would say speeding laws are inherently unethical to some degree
I would disagree and agree to some ammount
I see the argument for both on speeding
I guess you could say knowingly putting someone's life at risk is an unethical thing to do
But I would ask you this what right do you have to drive on a road u didn’t build
It’s not your property
well I'd say the government had no right to use my money to build that road
