It's also a good example of how citizens and governments are conflated.
Governments use taxation (in theory) to make collective spending decisions for the good of the people who provide the money. In practice they use it to further their goals of global domination which benefit them personally. They then *blame* the citizens for government actions and use taxes to *punish* their citizens for said government actions.
So for example, if the government bombs the shit out of a country because - reasons- (war on terror\/drugs\/whatever) then it ensures (through the presstitutes) that the citizens are seen as morally culpable (because they elected the government, right?) and therefore the *aid* sent abroad is a form of plenary indulgence\/humanitarian support and the price you pay for the privilege of being able to bomb the shit out of places, because . . .reasons. This also includes the deliberate influx of migrants (some of which have had the shit bombed out of their country) but many who haven't - if your country hadn't behaved badly then they wouldn't be here, but also they should be here because . . reasons.
It's a rigged game and the only way to win is to refuse to play.
Stop voting for these criminals (and they're all criminals).
Stop paying taxes (they can't fund this shit without your money).","generator":{"id":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-07-28:notice-source:ActivityPub","objectType":"application","status_net":{"source_code":"ActivityPub"}},"id":"https:\/\/spinster.xyz\/objects\/55f155b3-b846-42ca-a6ae-3d6367cff1ea","object":{"id":"https:\/\/spinster.xyz\/objects\/55f155b3-b846-42ca-a6ae-3d6367cff1ea","objectType":"note","content":"@Derb<\/a> It's a very good point.
