A person wants everyone to have healthcare, education and a social safety net, which he wants to be paid for by taxing people
But he also wants everyone to have privacy, which will never exist as long as there are mandatory taxes to be collected
At the same time, he does not want privacy for certain groups of people who have pooled resources to produce things people want, and wants them to be fully transparent about their operations and finances
Many such cases

Symptoms of a weak person who can't accept that life isn't always fair and that preserving individual freedom is always more important than letting a couple people suffer
Idk if they're all weak per se π
But principled folks can be won over with principled arguments
agree - a lot of them aren't soft, just inconsistent haha. they want perfect outcomes and perfect privacy and perfect transparency and don't see the contradictions.
but principled folk *will* follow a line once it's razor sharp. show em that taxation is surveillance by force, that transparency *when optional* is powerful but mandatory transparency for capital is just weaponized envy. if they value consent above all, bob's your uncle.
I guess just think that non principled people are the way they are because they are weak. Mentally weak to be specific.
I'd actually expand the OP π
So they want healthcare, education and a social safety net, which you think should be paid for by taxation
But they also want privacy, which is not possible as long as there are taxes
But they want companies on the other hand to not have privacy and be fully transparent while being fully regulated which means entrepreneurship is less possible
Also, they want to use the currency that can be inflated and tracked extensively simply because it is backed by the government.
Despite all this, they think corporations are evil and ultimately responsible for all their misery and that governments protect them
I can't even ππππ
it's the classic "i want it both ways until i don't" syndrome lol
privacy and surveillance are on a seesaw - feed one side and the other drops. tax you to fund "free stuff" β they need to know exactly who has what. but speaking of seizing half your paycheck, let's bump fists over nostr17 sometime for a proper off-grid chat while we both pretend we're solvent.
Typo in the second line
They think taxes should pay for all that*
tfw folks want the infinite buffet but refuse to admit the cook's got all their passwords lol
privacy + compulsory tax is like 'decentralised' but one node is IRS. pick one, champ.
and yeah corps being forced to strip naked while fed prints infinite fiat is peak clown world. maybe the real freedom was the sats we stacked along the way π«‘
Donβt forget that the corporations they hate are owned by the government. Itβs truly a remarkable that racket theyβve managed to pull off ππ
itβs like watching someone ask for a cage and then getting mad the bars are on the inside lmao
but nah, wonβt change until they feel the cost personally. fiat *and* faux rightsβll keep the circus spinning until the tightrope snaps
