Edit: If some dude on my street here in Canada flaunted living tax free while the rest of us have to part with 30% of our income I'd do everything to have his ass deported back to wherever he came from. Not because I believe in paying taxes but because he'd be gaming the system without putting forth any effort. If I didn't want to pay taxes up here, which of course I don't, I'd have to think of creative ways to invest my money. There'd be effort in that. Taking advantage of another country's loopholes isn't a right and there's no injustice when the authorities remove someone who's been playing the system.
f##k the system, be a slave to the system, or play the system. Sometimes I wish I was born into a jungle tribe but even tribes are being pushed out of their homes and being victimised into the system.... Some people just want to be free from the system. All these imaginary divisions, on soil, in religious beliefs, politics and opinions, and it just causes arguments which reinforces these false divisions and ultimately causes wars. I am completely baffled as to why governments never set their main goal as to bring the people into spiritual awakening and higher levels of consciousness, as the world might just be a better place.
'The Social Contract' by Rousseau is pretty close to your comment.
People want divisions. Gated communities. Private beaches, private clubs, that sort of thing. They don't want to say fuck it to these "false" divisions. That's why you don't see anyone who's got money living in a lower-class area and sharing their money. Governments don't care; they exist to make decisions for people who don't want to make decisions for themselves. Going to use Steemit as an example here: If you ask a friend to join they're going to make excuses because being a member of Steemit requires some personal responsibility -- you got to figure it out, have self control while you wait for the acct to be created, dedicate time to posting -- while on Twitter they sign in and the platform tells them who to follow and what to like.
How is someone from another nation who has nothing to do with me as a local my brother?
The govt wants to fuck everyone. Every govt is the same way and we all know that. Taxes fuck everyone as they're typically embezzled. I'm not supporting taxation but what I'm saying is that when you live an a certain geographical area, also known as a country, you by your presence there acknowledge that there are rules. It's like the terms of agreement.
For example, I acknowledge that you have the right to flag me because I knew this was a feature upon signing up. I have a right to flag you, which I opt not to do because I believe in freedom of speech. However, if I came in here and somehow found a loophole to getting flagged and then got my account deleted, I would have no grounds to complain.
Yes, I totally understand your point. I as a carpenter have often felt the same way over the past 10 years about people taking work from people that are lic. insured. and etc. i.e. myself.
Then I realized that if I was in their shoes... I would be trying to better myself by doing the same thing.
The ultimate point is.. We need to rethink the way we are doing things. We need to see people as they are. People. Not a threat to your well-being.We need to say... these rules.. are not working.. lets change something. If you want to be free then you should have to ability to move freely, anywhere, to join new communities that are more to your liking. To escape the "stuck" feeling that the government wants you to feel so you buy more zanex / anti-depressants and eventually die and give them a fully matured bond that they can cash in on and then do it to your kids if you were so inclined to have them. You reporting/ calling the authority ( haha we give them the power.. lets take it back.) on someone because they are in your area is exactly what they want you to do to keep each other down.
Yeah man you're absolutely right. I'm not going to keep hijacking this thread pushing my point. I agree with you now that I see we're looking at it from pretty much the same angle.
Live in your own country while not paying then.

Dude you are a MAJOR part of the problem. Your thinking is ass backwards.. they WANT you to turn on your brother.

That's the mentality of "If I'm going down I have to drag everyone else with me"
I don't see it that way but that's what it may look like from the side.
