The ballooning government control over our lives, our bodies, and our property is really freaking me out, and I feel helpless because the same government has made it extraordinarily difficult to find any escape. How do you handle this? What do you do?

I probably speak for most liberal-y readers when I ask, has government control actually been unusually expansive lately? What are examples of what you’re worried about?

Proposed increase capital gains tax, tax in general, the massive bailouts recently, the government money printing that's likely going to cause significant inflation, and just. In general I feel this all the time.

I don't think you really understand the concept of taxation. I know you're gonna just read this and think I'm another cunt on twitter but really, you seem to think inflation is inevitable. You seem to think taxation is theft and you don't benefit from it, or society. 1/n
