How does one 'opt out' of whatever nonsense government dreams up next?! And if I can't opt out, how is this not tyranny?

- dghlsakjg 3y agoDon’t buy a car? In all seriousness, do you really think that any government system on earth could work if people got to opt out of laws they don’t like?
- lotsofpulp 3y agoAssuming you do not have a tribe willing and able to fight for you, move to the middle of Siberia, or Somalia, or the Sahara, etc where you will not have to compete for resources like land.
- kbos87 3y agoIn this case it’s pretty simple - stop using the government built and maintained road system
- systemvoltage 3y ago“Maintained road system” is a joke in California, yet we pay some of the highest taxes in the world.
- drunner 3y agoIn the world? LOL edit: sorry, to be more constructive let me add https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2020/5/14/americas-growth-ponzi-scheme-md2020 https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2020/5/14/americas-growt... as a small explanation for what is all wrong with 'roads' in america. Car infrastructure is insanely expensive and we have a ton of terrible status quos in the US that add to it.
- carlosjobim 3y agoRegarding this particular tax, you opt out by de-registering your vehicle so you don't have to pay taxes on it. In general, that's how you opt out of most government nonsense, you fly under the radar and keep your money protected where whatever government can't touch it.
- occz 3y agoYou can opt out by not using the government-provided roads.
