Are SovCits against the concept of taxation in general? I thought they just convinced themselves they have loopholes that allow them to avoid it personally...
Yes they are. They believe it's illegal.
The ones I've seen posted here seem to want all of the benefits of living in a society without any of the restrictions or responsibilities that go along with it. Taxation is just one part of that.
Some think they shouldn't even have to pay other things, basically believing that there's a part of loans that is voluntary and their esoteric knowledge means they can just get loans and not pay them back, which itself comes from a misunderstanding of how the rich use loans to get to spend their assets and keep them.
That misunderstanding itself is that there's an overall fair system in place, if you have the esoteric knowledge to use it, and you just have to know what magic words to use to make judges agree with you and police back off. They don't realize that the rich following a different set of rules isn't based on fairness under a secret system, it's based on the soft power that comes with being rich and having the resources to make someone's life better or worse with a phone call.
