- rrr_oh_man 2y agoNitpick & a tangent, but: Being properly represented in a democratic system is not the same as being able to vote for someone.
- vsnf 2y agoFair enough, the chant as we learned it was “no taxation without representation”, so you win this one. But my point was that it wasn’t just childish tantrums about taxes, it was also about being forced to buy into a monopoly, not getting any say in the matter, having local business blockaded, etc.
- rrr_oh_man 2y agoFor what it’s worth: I wasn’t at all disputing your general argument, just wanted to elaborate on a pet peeve of mine. Cheers!
