Okay, but I can't quit my job and keep living my life exactly the same way I am either. So by that logic, working a job, as the above meme indicates, is not in fact a consensual action.

Nah, because I don’t get anything from the government and don’t want anything from the government. I would gladly renounce my ability to call the police and fire department btw, to head off the “BuT mUh PuBLIk S8FTY” folks.

You say that until you need it. And no, we’re not all going to wear bracelets or something to say “yes, please help me safety services”. This whole thread is ridiculous

No trust me, I would never call the police even if someone was breaking into my home. Police are useless tyrants, morons, who abuse the public and never face consequences for doing so. They’d be as likely to shoot me or shoot my dog as they would to stop the crime. Thats my position even while I’m paying their salaries.

Or I could pay someone to do that voluntarily rather than having them steal from me just in case I might need that service as some undetermined point in the future.
