I find it kind of ironic that you are clearly, well versed on what the core meaning of consent is, yet you can't seem to apply this understanding to all things. Government is non consensual. Government is rape. However, if you take the idea of governance and make it completely consensual it ceases to be immoral, in the same way that rape is immoral and BDSM is not. In the same way that assault is immoral, but a boxing match is not. To argue that "we need government though" is to argue "but how am I gonna get laid without raping someone?" Its beside the point. Wanting (or even needing) something does not entitle you to it. not to say you can't do immoral things in the sake of self preservation, but immoral actions in the name of self preservation do not magically become moral. Being alive is a privilege, not a right (despite what many people think). A true "right to life" would constitute immortality. What is percieved as a right to life is a positive right, or a right that requires action, which is not actually a right at all, it is the contention that maintaining your life is everyone elses responsibility, which is fundamentally absurd. The only legitimate rights anyone has are negative rights, also known as natural rights, or inalienable rights, which are rights that are not granted by anyone, rights which are inherent to existence, and mostly stem from your natural right to personal property (which government stands in violation of).

I find it a shame that you felt the need to follow me from one comment on a unrelated vid and make your point here...
I dont beleve, taxes are the same as rape, or abuse.
You want to follow me else where?
Cool, I find it a repulsive that you are in support of a fundamentally violent and coercive idea, and one that I am victim of, along with just about everyone else on the planet. So, you've got a lot more compassion from me than you remotely deserve. Taxation is unequivocally coercive in nature, in the exact same way that rape is. It is literally defined by it. Saying you don't believe it doesn't make it not true. This topic is any thing but unrelated, it's fundamentally identical, hence my trying to explain in a domain you clearly already understand. Sorry for having hope in you overcoming your unackowledged coercive nature, asshole. you are observably uninterested in peaceful conflict resolution, I recommend you try and change that for your own sake, along with everyone elses.
