Churches by and large are institutionalized mental illness. Do not recommend.
And while local institutions can be more responsive and flexible, they also cannot exist without a larger entity helping maintain their sovereignty. (Otherwise larger and stronger forces would overthrow them.) Local only can also be a hassle for things like commerce or civil rights. Imagine every city having their own currency or rules about what "kind of people" are welcome or unwelcome.
- listenallyall 3y agoOf course local & regional groups and establishments can be flawed, you are correct that most are, some greatly so. However the OP's point was that someone who is anti-tax (or just wants some accountability and transparency) is "obviously" both anti-community and anti-society. I'm simply saying that being deeply invested in one's community via direct participation in, and/or contributing to, any of a number of local outlets and groups, is not incompatible with frustration regarding the lack of control over the use of one's tax payments.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoGood points. Thanks for clarifying.
