All the posers here thinking they are very smart, while never asking similar "stupid" questions about their own political ideologies.
In general, smart people ask stupid questions about everything.
As of this specific question, there are various possible answers:
Crowdfunding;
Custom fees as a source of income;
Close to taxes, but paying some fixed fee, like a membership fee.
Variants which are taxes, but relevant for the question in spirit:
Georgism;
Only one simple income tax, only one simple property tax, no other taxes;
Deciding every citizen's payment into budget on a popular vote every N years (may even make it not a sum, but a percentage of property or something), as the average of submitted numbers or something.
Not a sovcit, but they do have a point in saying "fuck you" to the authority.
No they don’t. Fighting “authority” for the sake of it stupid and meaningless because it’s so vague it’s dangerous. You fight the injustice or the lack of transparency, but what you prescribe as “authority” could be anything from schools that educate to laws that protect to support of groups you don’t belong to.
If you said “Authoritarianism”, you’d have a point.
No and I don't owe you anything
And we don't owe you respect
"We" is a symptom of some disorder? Or you think that numbers matter here?
Nope, they're right. You are not owed respect by anyone.
That sounds a bit like his ancap attitude to collective services.
Answered elsewhere - I'm fine with that, and in your case I'd never want it.
In my case in specific? Why single me out out of billions of strangers? What's so special about me?
You being the author of the comment I was answering, maybe.
You'd never want my respect because you agreed with what I wrote?
"And" doesn't mean causality.
What part of "Nope, they're right. You are not owed any respect by anyone" makes me singled out for you not wanted to be respected by? Because that is the comment I authored and you said that is why you didn't want respect from me.
"And" doesn't mean causality.
Archimedes designed siege devices and died at Siracuse. Him designing siege devices is not the reason for him dying.
I agree that nobody owes me respect (I actually like it, because it removes the balancing part) and I'd not want respect from you. The latter is not a consequence of the former.
Also "I'd not want respect from you" in natural languages can mean "I want no respect from you" or literal meaning, I meant the latter.
Comment you were answering:
Edit: wait, you think I'm that Jiggle_Physics guy, don't you?
No, you've literally screenshotted the comment I meant. What I said about FP. End
Either you don't want my respect because I agree with you or you don't want my respect because you think Jiggle_Physics and I are the same person. There is no third option here, sorry. A follows B.
We as in every person who downvoted your delusional rants.
"We" means you (and every person yadda yadda) don't have basic dignity
Seek help.
You are definitely displaying a number of disorders, that is for sure.
ASD and ADHD. 2 is a number.
But I'm grateful for them, as in this conversation they show me to be generally more adequate than your side.
Also forgot to say that I don't need your respect.
I would also add symptoms of ODD, HPD, and NPD
I don't think scolding morons is indicative of any of these
people with NPD rarely see the problems with their behavior, so this checks.
Oh, half the time of therapy I'm being told that things I perceive as problems with my behavior are not.
But then fighting windmills or ignorami is definitely that. Thx for a good thought
Every comment you make is just evidence of what I suspect. I mean, you are like a cliche.
They also seem to think you and I are the same person, which is pretty amusing.
I think this person just assumes, whether consciously or not, that everyone questioning them is just a big, monolithic, mass that they are superior to, and therefore it doesn't matter that they are addressing a number of different people, and critiques, the same way.
To be fair to this idiot, social media can feel like that sometimes when everybody disagrees with you. Different people have different techniques to handle that. Some just shut up, others like them just double down and get absolutely rekt.
This is true. I often find myself not reading names and occasionally it leads to me addressing one person thinking they are another.
its like incels talking about girls -
