Recently, I saw this meme about taxation:
The message of the meme is clear and effective. Consent is the difference between voluntary interaction and violence. But the meme applies to more than just taxation.
Far from it. I was considering making a long list of every government action that is backed by violence or the threat of violence, but that's unnecessary because the truth is simple:
Everything government does is backed by violence. Every government decree will be carried out whether or not you consent.
If it isn't backed by violence and threats, it isn't government.
Prove me wrong, I dare you.
