This whole discussion started because you said that taxation is in human DNA, and that’s the claim I disagree with. I’m not arguing that taxation hasn’t existed throughout history; I’m arguing that it isn’t some inherent or inevitable part of human nature.
I’ve already provided historical examples of major revolts and revolutions in which taxation and fiscal pressure played a significant role. That evidence supports my point that people have repeatedly resisted taxation rather than simply accepting it as an inherent part of human nature.
And I’m not being aggressive. If you read through my comments, you will notice how I tried to end this pointless discussion . Disagreement isn’t aggression.
Again you grossly misrepresent me.
I said war is in our DNA and that the capacity to wage war can be significantly enhanced by the use of taxes and that in respect to Bitcoin vs fiat money the way in which fiat money enables tax via debasement of citizens savings puts any nation adopting Bitcoin at a strategic disadvantage in the first instance.
Your inability to understand and respond to what I have said undermines your ability to refute what I have said.
It seems to be a chronic and serious flaw in your thinking.
It is either simply dishonest or due to lack or comprehension and thinking ability.
That is a problem you and only you can possibly address.
I can feel your frustration. Just read my last two comments again, that’s where I addressed your argument directly, and I think my point is clear enough. If you still disagree, that’s perfectly fine.
Instead of responding to the argument, though, you decided to attack me personally. Disagreement is fine; personal attacks don’t strengthen your position.
I have pointed out your chronic inability to honestly represent what I have said.
You consistently and repeatedly misrepresent what I have said.
Your points are not at all clear- they are mostly based on blatant misrepresentation.
I attack you because you are failing to engage in a good faith reasoned debate.
A perfectly justified attack.
You seem programmed to be incapable of honest reasoned debate...instead automatically misrepresenting, gaslighting and finally calling poor me!
I truly pity you and your inability to think and debate honestly.
Devoid of any acknowledgement of and apology for your serial misrepresentations it is a waste of my time to continue to attempt any dialogue with you, as you appear incapable of honest constructive debate and dialogue.
I have not said tax is the only factor in an economy and polity.
I have said the use of tax is a factor.
People will and do and Should revolt when taxes are not applied and utilised DILIGENTLY.
Please understand that word- it is important.
You assume and assert I have not read history, again a false gaslighting assertion being used to cover the lack of logic in your arguments.
My time is just as valuable as yours but in good faith I do not run from an argument- if I lose, I concede and learn.
Running from the truth rarely ends well.
That is why I don't do it.
