If you're an American paying taxes, you're already a hypocrite for funding their international wars. Either accept that you're the baddie and enjoy life, or actually stop being the baddie even if you have to make huge sacrifices far beyond choice of consumer product brands. But you don't get to have it both ways being virtuous while selfishly doing harm.
- DyslexicAtheist 7y agoI hear your pain but the average American citizen has no say or control over the war machine and many are actually against it. It's also not as easy as "stop paying your taxes" unless you're willing to give up being part of society and live as a social outcast (best case) or be taken to court and ruin yourself. Not paying taxes is only possible if you're already part of the system that made you. US citizens also are taxed on their income even they decide to live outside the US, so there is no escape for them if they disagree (and who would denounce their citizenship unless they're asylum seekers or political refugees). Don't hate the player, hate the game as they say.
