RE: The Stupidity of Borders - An Illegal Alien Steemian In Mexico Gets Kidnapped And A Free Flight To His Tax Farm

How is someone from another nation who has nothing to do with me as a local my brother?

The govt wants to fuck everyone. Every govt is the same way and we all know that. Taxes fuck everyone as they're typically embezzled. I'm not supporting taxation but what I'm saying is that when you live an a certain geographical area, also known as a country, you by your presence there acknowledge that there are rules. It's like the terms of agreement.

For example, I acknowledge that you have the right to flag me because I knew this was a feature upon signing up. I have a right to flag you, which I opt not to do because I believe in freedom of speech. However, if I came in here and somehow found a loophole to getting flagged and then got my account deleted, I would have no grounds to complain.

Sort:  

That's the mentality of "If I'm going down I have to drag everyone else with me"

I don't see it that way but that's what it may look like from the side.

Yes, I totally understand your point. I as a carpenter have often felt the same way over the past 10 years about people taking work from people that are lic. insured. and etc. i.e. myself.
Then I realized that if I was in their shoes... I would be trying to better myself by doing the same thing.
The ultimate point is.. We need to rethink the way we are doing things. We need to see people as they are. People. Not a threat to your well-being.We need to say... these rules.. are not working.. lets change something. If you want to be free then you should have to ability to move freely, anywhere, to join new communities that are more to your liking. To escape the "stuck" feeling that the government wants you to feel so you buy more zanex / anti-depressants and eventually die and give them a fully matured bond that they can cash in on and then do it to your kids if you were so inclined to have them. You reporting/ calling the authority ( haha we give them the power.. lets take it back.) on someone because they are in your area is exactly what they want you to do to keep each other down.

Yeah man you're absolutely right. I'm not going to keep hijacking this thread pushing my point. I agree with you now that I see we're looking at it from pretty much the same angle.
