Your anger is directed at the wrong target. Your anger should be directed at the tax laws. And one little hint for a happy ending; make the taxes cheaper than the loopholes.

Libertarian nonsense.

We agree on this.

No. Our anger is directed at the scumbags. The solution is stop allowing Jews and plutocrats to control the government in the first place, Mr. Libertarian temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

Your anger should potentially be directed at the self for failing to master the rules of the game you're playing.

Ever play NOMIC? It was a game in which the entire point was to change the rules of the game. The other players would change the rules to disfavor you, and it was your responsibility to maneuver around those impediments.

The tax game is somewhat similar. The rules change every year, or several times per year. If you're in the game, you need to remain situationally aware and agile enough to not take a hit from those changes.

Nomic is a game created in 1982 by philosopher Peter Suber in which the rules of the game include mechanisms for the players to change those rules, usually beginning through a system of democratic voting. Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game.

It has some resemblance to the game of politics and taxes.

This is stupid.

If someone spends two thousand years warring against your people, and they successfully conquer you, enslave you, assimilate you, change you, raise you to think in new ways, gives you a system which operates under these new ways, lies to you concerning "democracy" and "justice"....

THEY ARE TO BLAME

Edit: the fight is still happening, Node. Where is your spirit?

[–]Node 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I'm not seeing a fight. What I do see is a level of weakness and passivity among the people who are supposedly "on my side" that revolts me. My spirit is with those who would fight, but no one is fighting. Hence, I'm a party of one.

The time to have fought is long past, and there is now no possible redemption for that failure.

Not to say people shouldn't fight if they ever have the inclination. All I'm saying is their lives of inaction have made it clear they're not on my side, and probably not on their own side.

There's more to be said on this topic, but I'm trying to avoid breaking that rule against advocating the viable solution.

We can talk about it without talking about it.

There is a fight going on, it's an invisible one with visible effects. It happens every day as we take in information, as we live our lives, and as we deal with the machinations of the elite. there is a struggle, it just has not coalesced into war.

I don't know if there are any camps or parties or sides in life right now that I'd get behind. So, I really do see where you are coming from.

Edit: u/Node, I should make it clear that I've cut off many friendships with lukewarm "rebels" due to passivity and a willingness to live deeply into ignorance. It is revolting.

Not even cheaper. Make the tax laws easier and get rid of the exemptions, or "loopholes".
