I agree it's theft but the victim has some political leverage.
It's a political not social arrangement.
You can criticize Holmes's statement but he never called taxation a social contract
The author of the article is attacking a straw man
Saying that ignores the fact that regardless of my interaction poltically as an individual the outcome is the same. It's no contract at all. And you called it a political contact. That's not what a contract is. It's something. Just not a contract. It's taxation. It's a form of government but it isn't a contact. That language is an intentional deception to confuse the masses. One might call it a psyop even.
The secret to all of these types of things is to replace the state with a company or individual and ask how that would change things. The view of the state is special. It's a false god that is viewed in ways that rival a diety.
In fact one way to view the Bible is one story arch where man tries to create his own god and God repeatedly mocks and defeats their attempts. From Babel to Revelation.
