@Oliver Parenta-Parker "you need to pay taxes or they will legit put you in jail for life", that's the control mechanism, having to do something against your will, because otherwise... I understand that many people cannot afford to care, but that's the problem that leads to so much suffering in the world, are you just going to ignore that? Are you just going to look over the fact that the west has actively pursued colonialism and slavery for the past, I don't know, forever? Yes, we should use philosophy to improve our lives, and also to help other people. Kill your ego and develop some compassion. I obviously don't think that everyone is shit, but a lot of people are ignorant. I fully understand your point bro, I have lots of positive interactions with amazing people. But we also need to look at the other side, where states and the elite are actively exploiting people that have done no wrong, and we cannot look away.

@Bigboy Gg My goal when generating income is obviously not because I desperately want to pay taxes, what do you mean? The goal should obviously be to not have to make money, but at least as little as possible. I don't know why the US government cares if Iran has nukes, Israel also has them.

I have lost brain points reading this. What is a Dandy?

I don't quite understand how "people show their true colours when you make them feel higher" fits into this?

Maybe not better, just more enlightened.

Horrible take, is this sarcasm?
