I didn't do anything wrong though. No vote, no taxes, no use of publicly funded infrastructure, that was the deal. Amazon is a private company, they do pay taxes, so they can use the roads on my behalf.
Are you an anarchist?
Well, I'm certainly not a fan of big government if that's what you mean.
That's the fun thing though, taxes pay for the legal system that protects you from both the state and other people. So you don't get that either. Anyone including the FBI can roll up and smoke your ass and there's nothing you can do about it.
And I dunno what a virtual mailbomb is, but it sounds like something the FBI would care enough to stop.
It's just a funny word I made up for inconvenient free speech. Because it is my experience that right (or wrong, depending on your perspective) words at the right time can literally make a person blow up LOL
Ah well. It will be difficult to talk to anyone, because the internet, postal service, and telecommunications are all subsidized by taxes.
Well, if you’re gonna be like that I don’t want to talk to you anyways.
