@LukeAlmighty @WandererUber @thatguyoverthere Then where the fuck is it?
I had to take a heavy jacket to go out in my town in september less than 10 years ago.
Today I went ouside in a T-shirt and I was sweating

I don't think that in this purely hypothetical scenario the law enforcement or even the state military would do a jack squat even if the top brass wanted to.

If this hypotetical is anywhere near what you expect, then I've seen anarcokiddies with more realistic plans. If this is not what you really expect, spell it out, precisely.

if the nation were to collectively say no to taxes

Then I'm told commies are utopian, but go on

@Vox @ThatCrazyDude

I often wonder what would happen if the entire country at once refused to pay.

Collapse of the police system, then lynching of most business owners after the first economic crisis and mass firings, followed by lolberts crying for the state to save them because animals or something

@ThatCrazyDude @Vox For the same reason strikes are a thing

@Vox @ThatCrazyDude

I'm not sure how a mass refusal to pay income tax would catalyze such a thing, though.

Because the job of the state is to make private property enforcable. There is a reason after all as to why the state as we know it today came to be only after the rise of capitalism and wage labour.

If anything, the business owners and their employees would be on the same side

The workers want to be paid the highest amount possible while working the least amount possible, while buisness owners want to pay their employees the least possible while working them as much and as hard as possible. There is already a direct conflict of interest embedded in the employee-employer relationship, regardless of whatever the state may or may not do.
And conflict is made inevitable by the falling rate of profit, which arises due to competition and the constant push all businesses have to grow.

And that's without going over the fact that an employer must pay an employee less than what they produce, else they would have no profit

@Moon Because Israel works as the west's attack dog and military base in the ME, and Europe's pokitical establishment has been completely controlled by the US since the USSR fell

@LukeAlmighty That's just a lie. See the taxrate of any socialist country. The DPRK has only sales tax for example

@LukeAlmighty He doesn't. For the fact that feudalism (or even modern day capitalism) doesn't work that way: the central authority is sustained by the feudal lords (or the capitalists). If the king expropiated the lords for any of the reason you listed, he would have a revolt

@meso the CIA has made 6 assasination attempts on Castro. Well-funded ≠ competent

@Suiseiseki

That's an incredible amount of complexity and attack surface, resulting it being impossible to write a non-trivial, secure program in that language.

As if manual resource management is better, while is in fact worse.

I don't really get the allure of static linking 1000 libraries, all full of vulnerabilities mainly due to the complexity of the language.

You assume that somehow you'll be able to correctly reimplement the functionality you need better than projects which dedicate their all to produce sound code. Prove it.
Also, why don't you also reimplement function calls while you're at it?

Objects were a mistake and are incredibly slow (the CPU intel made with hardware accelerated OOP was very slow)

That ain't what all objects are. That's only a kind of object, ie a reference object with dynamic dispatch

@Suiseiseki @thor RAII + package manager + immutability by default + objects + sum values > C
