I feel like I'm in crazytown when I express distress about taxation - literally people forcibly taking away your property - and ppl act like I'm the crazy one. Sure, you could argue that this forcible theft is worth it, and I'll respect that, but it's still not crazy to be upset.

Taxes are consented to by “we” as a collective, but probably not you or I as individuals. I think the nature of the distress is understandable, but if this is “force” then so is literally every act of government.

I do think most things government does are in fact force and should not be done

To play devils advocate here: Isn’t almost anything anyone does that has any effect on others ‘force’? Why is government a particularly bad form of this force in your view as compared with other ways in which outside force affects individuals?

I generally like this concept; force would be anything that violates negative rightshttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_rights …
