The Revolutionary War wasn't about taxes. “The colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that England took away from the colonies their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction. The inability of colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George the III and the international bankers was the PRIME reason for the Revolutionary War.“ - Benjamin Franklin.

[@bbblackwell]

We know everything in our current society is about power, either by punishment or reward (the tools of which are government and money respectively). Yet, somehow, we believe that 250 years ago, a crusade of justice and freedom was waged, born of righteous wisdom. I think the whole thing was a work. I think the powers behind the European governments were testing a new technology in slavery: the modern democratic republic. That's the real "American Experiment," not a self-directed land of the free. England didn't lose the New World, they secured it under a new brand.

My suit though long in details is actually very simple and obviously unanswerable for the County. A simple question that they cannot answer, show me the process, in law, that allows the County to impose an AD VALOREM (commerce and business) tax on my right to acquire, possess, and protect property? If people only knew, not only how corrupt these people are, but how incompetent they are. They are trying to deny me getting an answer from the County, because I have a better chance of meeting God than having them answer my lawsuit and explaining how the hell they are doing what they are doing! First of 2 cases is up in the appellate court (3rd circuit), and number 2 will follow in a couple of weeks. BUT IT'S LIKE YOU'VE SAID!

The thing that you anarchists are missing, is that in order for people to disobey they first need to be independent like everyone used to. You must have your own water source (drill well , rain+stainless steel water tanks, well). Have your own electricity via solar panels+inverter+batteries+small scale wind generators if it's windy. And most importantly have your own animals and trees regeneratively to produce your own food source and wood for heat. All of these depend on owning land, tho they can also be done on leashed land technically using portable systems, but I can imagine it makes everything more difficult. Nowadays people live in a city on rent completely dependent on money(their job) for survival, and everything they ever do and everywhere they go is literally tracked 24/7. How can you expect anyone to not comply when their survival depends on it. Instead of telling people to not comply, why don't you instead promote the things that make people independent and thus allow them to not comply? What you're saying is great don't get me wrong, but you're missing the whole point and being ignorant on the root cause of the problem. Humans have never been so dependent in all of history, yet I cant remember you mention any of this ever in any of your videos.

[@LarkenRose]

Um, no, people don't need to be self-sufficient to disobey. And yes, I have talked about that before.

Being self sufficient would make it easier to disobey. However it's never impossible, there's always a choice

[@wearebacteria]

@@LarkenRose well, sure if you have loads of money behind you, you don't need to be self sufficient to disobey, at least for now. Anyone can disobey, the thing is that the consequences can be significant. It depends on each case I guess. During the covid scare I knew lots of people would go along with mandates just because they would otherwise lose their job. You could argue that they didn't have to, but most people are dumb enough not to be able to figure out alternative solutions to avoid complying and thus this is why making it easier for them to not comply is important. I have watched almost all of your videos and I honestly cant remember you talking about self sufficiency, however it's been years so I could easily be wrong. Eitherway simply mentioning these things once or so doesn't really make a difference. People need details and explanations. Last I checked your channel is not about self sufficiency, even tho all anarchists should be about that since self sufficiency aka independence is "relatives" with anarchy, since independence promotes anarchy. Isn't it obvious. Do you honestly disagree with the point that it would be much more useful for everyone to be independent, rather than to simply have the philosophical concept of anarchy while living in a city as a literal slave working all their lives? Don't take it personally, this is just something I have observed with many youtubers on our side, and I scratch my head every time, why very few of you are talking about these basic things like how to be independent. This will not only make everyone independent, but will also make everyone healthier, and help keep their money instead of spending it for food/electrical bills/water bills/etc every month. If your viewers have more money, you will probably make more money too. Just ideas for the future. Thank you.

[@ryanmelnyk3293]

Good logic. But just as you said, Larkens channel isn't about being self sufficient. There are many many other you tube channels, folks can go bestow their gaze upon. What you speak of is something I have pondered my self. I am on the path of self sufficiency, and I'm enjoying the challenges and rewards. What I have noticed when trying to talk to people who aren't resonating with me, or what I'm doing, their eyes glaze over and the colored bars appear with droning beeping sounds. Like back when, you'd flip to a channel that was off air... In my opinion, something big is coming. And we are witnessing the beginnings. It will not be fast changes all at once, but spread out over the next century. The ones who will push on and carry on the existence of humanity will the ones can see the encryptions on the wall. In a short sense, survival of the fittest. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. I've stopped worrying about convincing the "normies" they need to change and adapt.

​@wearebacteria Yes real freedom goes hand in hand with independence & self/community-sufficiency, and in order for that to be an option for everyone, that logically means sovereign (cost/tax-free) homesteading land & water recognized as a birthright for humans on Earth (forming voluntary communities); that's the real solution controlled opposition will never promote.

I never complained too much about income tax, because I decided a while ago not to earn much income. There is a 2 for 1 in that concept, first I don't have to pay much at all if anything in "income tax", second if we are speaking about freedom, the last thing to come to mind is a job. Freedom and job are polar opposites, you cannot be free is a boss controls huge blocks of your time and labor. So I choose freedom and that also includes freedom of my time. Yes, I do some work to make ends meet but I no way over due it.

[@davedismantled]

A job is a volutary interaction which trades time for something, usually money. A job is voluntary, you can quit anytime. No one tells me what job I must do, how long I decide to work for a person or myself, when I wish to leave a job, etc. So, you are quite incorrect in part of your comment. Secondly, if you don't complain about the large amount of people that DO have money stolen in the form of taxes - or get others to see it for what it is, what good is that? "To know and not to do, is not to know." Cheers.

Unrealized capital gains tax is not that absurd in the sense of they can just take the item from you. Which is what governments do anyways in the sense of an income tax.

[@DavidS-bm2st]

most people are looking for ways to kiss the gubbmin butt as fast as possible and if they could only pay MORE taxes they would gladly RUN to pay it.

[@VaughnMalecki]

I get more back from income tax than they steal from my income. It's all the other taxes I have not figured out how to even avoid. I also do not have a single license for anything.

[@LarkenRose]

"I get more back from income tax than they steal from my income." What? That's not how math works. You can't get more BACK then they took from you.

[@VaughnMalecki]

@LarkenRose child tax credits, they call it on a "return," but I think I get what you're saying. Maybe I should have said the government pays me income from the theft of others. Lol

[@bbblackwell]

What's interesting here is the notion of subjective value underlying the "unrealized gains" idea. Subjective value is essentially asserting that there is no true value, just perception. Perception of what? Only ourselves. Many will say that "the market" sets value in a free society, as if this lends some objectivity, but what is the market but the sum total of the people's subjective whim? Essentially, this model leaves us with a man in an empty room, hearing his own echo; but what about all the real world stuff, and all the effects of these innumerable interactions that objectively exist? Is their only contribution to value achieved through our subjective perception of them, or do they have direct access to value itself? Tomatoes have a particular effect in the world, one that aligns with the "cosmic intent" of supporting life in various creatures. You may underestimate or overestimate this effect (its contribution toward this end), but it is what it is, regardless of our perception and interpretation. This reveals a true element of objectivity to value, leaving no room for subjective input. True value and our personal *valuations* are two different things. Our valuations don't exist in a vacuum; they are a speculation about what that future effect will be. They are a guess at the true, objective value the item will provide. The noun "value" and the verb "to value" are conflated intentionally because the greater the spread between reality and perception, the greater the opportunity to exploit that error.

My question is: What does "not putting up with it anymore" actually look like?

[@LarkenRose]

In this case, not giving money to the parasites anymore. (It's not always easy, and not always safe. The question is, when does compliance become more risky than disobedience?)

[@tapq]

@LarkenRose Thank you for your reply. I am so completely sick of taxes. I agree that taxation is theft. I'd be on board with not sending them anymore money if it wasn't for the threat of them destroying my life and taking my freedom. Your comparison between the government and the mafia was spot on. As for when does compliance become more risky than disobedience, for me, I think it's when I can no longer comply and still live a halfway decent life.

[@FoodForestHeaven]

They think they own you entirely. Maybe time to give up certain citizenships. Inflation is a tax and an excuse for one.

Is the range 0% to 100% or is it 0% to never never never? I think 0% to 100% is an incorrect range. Never underestimate the current human scum and animalistic beings.

Your not obligated to give anything morally anyways, the thing is people are scared that's why they give at all for most people. They might justify it to not feel like a coward.

[@WorgProfile]

Hey Larken, what's your opinion on accepting government handouts, like paid parental leave for example, you could either call it immoral because it supports the system or you could see it as a way to at least get some of your stolen tax money back. How do you see this?

[@unvaccinatedamerican9620]

So, they’ll also subsidize my unrealized capital losses to be fair, right? Of course not.

[@nicholasblakiston6297]

People can't answer the second question without opening themselves up to prosecution if they've already drawn a line. But it seems to me like with regard to people who don't feel a moral obligation to pay, the number will adjust based on what people think they can get away with. I mean there does come a point where a person can become willing to risk their life for the sake of disobedience, and I saw it last night as a sole Palestine protestor in Chicago singlehandedly blocked any cars driven by Israel supporters for over half an hour while the masses of police in the area either didn't notice or chose to allow it. Yet, only one individual out of even the thousands who had originally gathered for the protest was at the point where he was willing to risk his life to such a high degree for the sake of wanting to turn attention to the government's abuses of Gaza. I don't believe we will see a widespread tax protest to the degree where people openly risk retaliatory violence because I believe poor people will run out of food and reach the point of desperation where they revolt before such a tax protest happens. While Geral Celente may not yet have a full grasp of the solutions, he does a good job shining light on various aspects of reality and one of his famous sayings is "when people lose everything, and they have nothing left to lose, they lose it." I believe starvation will be the source of the population's ultimate desperation that brings things to a breaking point.

[@robb8331]

a rise in property values every year is taxing unrealized gains. if property tax is frozen at your original sale price for taxing reasons as dumb as that is, it would be a kinder extortion.

This doesn't make the proposed tax moral but I'm just sayin...it's proposed on 100mil or more of wealth. I donno maybe those people will wanna fight bc of it...but unlikely.
