Even when I said "we are all doing it" you choose to assume I was too firstworldly to have an opinion. Trust me, I know very well how we Argentinians use crypto

Even when I said "we are all doing it" you choose to assume I was too firstworldly to have an opinion. Trust me, I know very well how we Argentinians use crypto. The country monetary policy is a mess and we don't like to pay taxes. You can tell yourself whatever heroic story helps you cope with the cognitive dissonance, I'll still find it amusing.
- int_19h 5y agoThe parent poster made that assumption, not me. In any case, not paying taxes can be a perfectly legitimate and moral reason - it all depends on what those taxes are actually used for.
- notch656a 5y agoWhy does it matter what the taxes are used for? Somebody with a gun says you need to pay up, doesn't make much difference to me whether that is an IRS agent who's funding the next bomber or a robber donating to starving African children, either way it's violence to take your life (labor) away without your consent. If the robber builds part of a road or whatever with your money that doesn't make me feel any better about it. Especially if I'm at gunpoint an entire 3-4 months of the year to do it (30% of the year).
