This is your right ... you're gonna die!

Sweet schadenfreude.
I just checked out yt... ah the comments!
Also realised *the guy* posted this himself!! How embarrassing!

Though I sort of get their overall point, it is a bit weird that when your born you're automatically the subject of one government or another and all the land has already been taken over by countries already.
Why not be allowed to opt out as long as you never benefit from any of the infrastructure, or you could use a pay as you go scheme and pay to use certain things.

I havent slept in a while tho.. Maybe I am a bit mental now :/

I can see their point hypothetically too, but they forget the number one consequence of anarchy: some asshole will invariably step in to fill the void, and yes it will be an asshole.

If these guys got their wish and the government left them completely alone, they'd be fuming by day three that the police aren't returning their calls.

The only way around that is to live so far away from human habitation that you can avoid contact with other people for however long you want. Only thing is, if you're the sort of person who likes to post YouTube videos, you're probably not cut out for seclusion.

You can't "opt out" because such a thing just doesn't parse with how you function as an individual. The second you receive any kind of health care, consumer goods, income, transportation, utility services, external labor.... basically anything another person has ever conceived or touched, you're reaping the benefits of our society. All of these things were brought to you by the collective effort of humans, and the upfront cost does not even come close to covering your share of the burden. You cannot disconnect unless you live entirely in the wilderness, using nothing but rocks, dirt, plants, and animals. Even then, you're probably reaping some kind of subtle benefit you're not directly aware of.

These people are brutish and stupid. They want to take from society the things they need and the things they'd like, without being subject to rules that brought these things to them in the first place.

Yes, after sleep I realise I was thinking with experimental backup brain when I wrote last comments :)

If you could opt out you'd be an automatic slave, most of this shit (at least for another couple of presidents) is to keep you from being fucked over by those in power.

It's not about the country you benefit from, I benefit from China constantly, no one's saying we should be citizens. It's about who protects you from being fucked over by what. If that ends, there's no reason to be a citizen.

this, you can opt-out/claim anything you want, as there is no system of ownership beyond violence and threats of violence. however you are entitled to NO protections. the cops shouldve arrested and detained this guy for trespassing and having nowhere to deport him to, sold him to China.

The term is "oxymoron." The people who try to push this idea are just regular morons.

Depends what you get pulled over for.

Might also be related to sunglasses...only time I didn't get off with a warning is when I didn't take my sunglasses off.


Also I'm white and drive an economy sedan without tinted windows or ricer accessories. I'm about the most unintimidating flavor of vanilla that cops encounter.

I know, young Oscar Wildcat could be a bit provocative, and at the time the police were acting more like an invading army (WOD) than peacekeepers. Still, the police were unfailingly rude to me, with a good deal of what comes with that.

Then I moved to NYC, and the police there ignored me entirely. The locals in my neigbhorhood thought I WAS A COP! This I could never get my mind around.

Now? Who knows. Everyone here is batshit insane, police and civilians alike. I have no idea what would happen if I got pulled over today. I suspect a few of our local police are also sovereigns, so imagine being pulled over by one of these idiots.
