This is why I hold my liquid capital in Bitcoin...to not support the US military industrial rogue state terrorism...but I also acknowledge this hierarchy is a function of human power structures and all but unavoidable.

Wrong.
I pay taxes on my land and BTC capital gains.
The taxes on my BTC gains are more tax than I have ever paid in over 5 decades as a taxpayer.
They provision the roads and infrastructure that enhances the value of my land and the security, law and order, free health care and education, social welfare, public housing, and rules based governance and administration that enhances my life as a citizen in a stable productive mixed economy democratic nation.
Just avoid supporting the US rogue state as much as I can by not holding any fiat in their NZ banking oligopoly.

As a result of BTC I am paying more tax to support my NZ government than ever before.
As a result of property which has created most of my wealth I paid fuck all tax because CGs on property are not taxed in NZ...which is a massive loophole that I have exploited but do not entirely agree with.
Either way I pay my taxes even if I disagree on some of the fine points of how we are taxed because I recognise that taxes enable the collective action that is required to have a civilised prosperous and secure society.
I do however minimise the degree to which I contribute toward the US military industrial combine that extends its tentacles into nearly every liberal western democracy via banks and other power projection mechanisms.
Holding most of my liquid capital in sats rather than dollars enables me to avoid contributing toward the US fiat debt slavery bankers cartel/military industrial complex to a large and satisfying degree.
If you want to not pay taxes go somewhere there is no government and good luck to you surviving let alone enjoying a safe and prosperous life!
