Legally, though, in solitude. In Germany only one person can officially visit another household. I think that is excessive bullshit which is why I do break this rule occasionally.
- jeofken 6y agoGood! The relationship between you and the Bundesrepublik is a non-voluntary one, where you never signed a contract with them to follow their laws. It’s a state created by the victors of the last great war. There is no moral responsibility to please people who are in your life involuntarily
- 74d-fe6-2c6 6y agoWith your attitude you have to be willing to not use tax-funded hospitals, community-financed health insurance or state-sponsored cultural events. Not sure if I'd like to take that step. There has to be a healthy balance in the relationship between society and citizen.
