I have a friend who is a privacy bro yet he didn’t file or pay taxes for 5 years and now has IRS liens on his house and other assets.
The IRS has guns. They do not play. Bravado is often a cover for insecurity and immaturity.

The important thing here is that you have to live in a way that is morally correct. It's a decision that is personal. We are responsible for all of our actions. Caving to the violent psychopaths is hyperbole. Regardless of who had the guns those who use the guns to confiscate the property of others will suffer a grave consequences. It doesn't matter if you have a government badge, paperwork or permission. Each individual who does harm to others is stealing.
What we doing want to do is give others the opportunity to steal from us. We must care about what we have built. We must care about our work. We also must understand that this is a spiritual journey and not a secular one. Secular is state worship. That's the simple explanation.
We don't have the mental energy to get spun up about the state. We don't need the state. The state is a reality but it is not THE reality.

In 2003, Hill became a proponent of tax redirection, resisting payment of about $150,000 in federal taxes, donating that money to after-school programs, arts and cultural programs, community gardens, programs for Native Americans, alternatives to incarceration, and environmental protection programs. She said:
I actually take the money that the IRS says goes to them and I give it to the places where our taxes should be going. And in my letter to the IRS I said: "I'm not refusing to pay my taxes. I'm actually paying them but I'm paying them where they belong because you refuse to do so."[30]

Income tax is theft.
Any government funded program first funds the government, then the graft goes to contractors and finally the people are forced to use the public services because they can't afford anything else due to inflation and taxation. Which helps to have a volunteer military of broke and financially illiterate people.
