The trick is to point out the stupidity and not repeat the same mistake- That is- Paying taxes. Centralised government is dead. Taxation is immoral.

While I agree, try not paying taxes. You can't win that. I detest big government. Taxes are theft. But how are any of us going to escape the system? I can't afford to buy an off grid lifestyle. I would if I could. But even that will eventually end when big central government decides to remove people from their property. They have been doing it for ever. They take and we do as we are told or die. I don't like it either. But there is no choice. Choice is an illusion. And in case you think I've given up, I haven't. I will not just comply. But I have no choice but to pick and choose my battles. We have to work within the system to change the system.

I think we take it in stages. One thing we can do is stop paying property tax. I know there are ramifications for doing this: Fines etc. but we must take on the system. One basic principle is the right to life. I don't care what the revenue say about my requirement to pay taxes- If it impinges on my basic ability to live then they can fuck off. End of story. Put me in prison at that stage if they like because I'd rather be dead than pay their tax for being alive.

Property tax is just a start. They aren't looking for too much income taxes from me but I pay them a pittance. They send me threatening letters but don't do anything about it. (I never use the term "owing" tax. That term doesn't apply where tax is concerned.)

Working within the system is guaranteed to fail I'm afraid. I'm all for using "art of war" tactics: Don't make it easy for them by painting a target on our backs and publicly showing defiance- Except where it's necessary. But make it really awkward for them. Screw up their system in a million different subtle/ small little ways. That's the smartest way to take them down.

You're not wrong. The system sucks. But I don't want to go to jail either. I don't want them to take my property, because they will. I've worked all my life, retired, and all I have now is my house, and my property, my gardens, my "emergency" plan, my go bag etc., and my "tools". This Trudeau government is evilЁЯШИ. This cabal will stop at nothing. The USAЁЯЗ║ЁЯЗ╕ deep state is evilЁЯШИ. We're up against alot. But ya, I don't make it easy for them. I do call City Hall and challenge the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Counselors directly. They can't answer my questions on ESG and DEI because they're stupid. I call the MP and MPP and request appointments to meet with them, and I challenge them. I call the local school boards and dress them down on their stupid woke policies. They don't know whether to say either because they're dumb. They couldn't see marxism of you rubbed their nose in it. And I do. I don't automatically wear a mask in public or in the hospital. I play dumb, I question them, I say how stupid it is, I tell them they don't work, that in not a surgeon doing surgery. I make it hard for them. I rejected the vaccine. Yes I'm a rebel. But I pick my battles and I'm preparing for complete social collapse.

You're a brave soul. You do what you need to do. Pick your battles as you say. I wouldn't worry about losing everything. We're going to lose it all some day anyway. The important thing is to enjoy life while we still have it. Fuck em. ЁЯШЙ ЁЯМИ (Claiming back the rainbow they stole.)

I hate that rainbow ЁЯМИ now but you're absolutely right about reclaiming it. I agree, it's time we reclaim everything they've stolen and changed. There's only one way to deal with a bully. Hit back, hit back harder and reset the narrative. Otherwise you lose so much ground that you end up having no ground, no position, no authority and you forfeit your existence. I won't do that. I won't be stolen from or made insignificant. If they want war they're going to get it.

We should make the Rainbow OUR meme and state that we're stealing it back. It would really piss them off. Call it "stealing back our rainbow."

ЁЯШЕ I love seeing their faces when they don't get their way. There's some real push-back on the whole woke thing. They're challenging the ESG and DEI compliance model and ditching it. So that's great news.

Yes apparently they're looking for a new name for it now. Any ideas?
