  • You shouldn’t be objecting to taxes. Taxes are good - that’s how public services get funded, for example, and social programs, lunches for kids, medical care for people who can’t afford it… All of these are examples of good uses of taxes, and if we lowered taxes to minimal levels, all of these things are what would get cut.

    What you should be objecting to is the egregious spending on things like corporate handouts, subsidies for sectors that shouldn’t be getting them, endless wars and utterly insane military budgets, executives contributing billions of dollars to their own slush funds in the name of “peace”…

    Basically, corruption and warmongering - that’s the umbrella this all falls under, generally speaking.

    So what you then should ask yourself is, which party or candidate supports this behavior, and which does not? Vote for the one that does not.




  • I think about this a lot. So many technologies that we have, if we could trust everyone involved to be acting in humanity’s best interest, would be amazing. If we didn’t have to guard our personal data like Fort Knox, there’s so many great things we could do with extensive connectedness. If we didn’t have to doubt the sincerity of everyone who promotes a service or product, everything would be so much better.

    We can’t have any of those things, because humans are shitty, and are as a whole just in it for themselves.
