    Yeah yeah, I’ve heard it plenty but never hear of it, even in the underground.

    Funny you’re willing to not vote to prevent a worse outcome, and supposedly even willing to get killed.

    But not to go to prison for not paying taxes in protest.

    Yeah, totally believable.

    Maybe you should ask yourself if you know yourself instead.

    PS: Moving to another country and renouncing citizenship isn’t supposed to be easy. But I never said doing the right thing ever was. It’s also still not the only option.

      I have $7000, total. Last I checked, you can’t move anywhere with that. I’d be homeless in less than 2 months, in a strange country and with 0 connections. Tax evasion is an act of indirect civil protest. I prefer direct action. I know who I am and what I value. You’re condescending, presumptive, and unwilling to place aside pride to understand perspective. You are the reason Europe think Americans all act that way. Sincerely, go fuck yourself.

        You can actually move to Finland with the amount.

        I know because I’m having a friend move here who only has coincidentally slightly more than that. They’re coming August 31st are currently cramming Finnish.

        Prefer direct action? Get many to protest with you then to not pay taxes until the government agrees to stop aid to Israel.

        And no, Europeans think of Americans that way because Americans don’t show real effort. There’s constant talk of putting your life on the line for a cause but then, never do. I already have for the nurse strike in Finland. What have you done?
