minus-squareKaboom@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down34·6 months agoAnd those who didnt vote for it? And what happens when the state decides to fund something you despise? Like America funding Israel?
minus-squareThekingoflorda@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up37arrow-down1·6 months agoI like how your example is from a non-socialist country.
minus-squareALQ@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up31·6 months agoRight? Like…I’m already getting fucked by my government in terms of doing things I don’t like. I may as well get something out of it.

minus-squareayyy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down11·6 months agoHow do taxes have anything to do with voluntary contributions? Taxes also don’t support the creation of anthropomorphised foxes with big tits, but patreon subscriptions sure do.
