With regards to consent, this is the same as any other law. You consent by remaining a citizen. Does every (any?) citizen know all of the laws? No, but it's part of the deal if your parents were citizens.
If you want to leave the country, you may renounce your citizenship upon becoming an adult.
- jschwartzi 6y agoThis pretty snidely disregards how difficult it is to emigrate anywhere else with a similar standard of living. De facto you are stuck in the country of your birth, barring some extraordinary effort on your part over the course of months to years.
- exolymph 6y ago> You consent by remaining a citizen. Uh, no, you can't opt out of being governed altogether. This is why libertarianism is a thing — the state is a categorically different kind of entity due to the monopoly on violence. Tax compliance is ultimately enforced at gunpoint, just like every other law, and that's why it really fucking matters to get the laws right. Haven't we been over this?
- wedkwew 6y agoNo, you don't "consent" by remaining a citizen,. At best you endure. > If you want to leave the country, you may renounce your citizenship upon becoming an adult. You are being very generous, and indeed this is one of the last remaining freedoms we have that people in the eastern block did not. Where to go though if all countries compete in becoming the most oppressive one?
