This is the basis for every sovereign citizen (aka "sovcits"); isn't it? Doesn't sovereign citizenry really only make sense if a sovcit goes "all the way"? I ask this because sovcits seem to partake in society's services provided by the collective (like roads, traffic signals, police, firefighters, etc.) while complaining about state overreach when (1) they have to pay something like property tax or (2) when they have to deal with LE. I'm not saying you're wrong to have a sovcit mentality, but doesn't a sovcit have to stop using society's services and put up a real defense when LE gets involved? I'm not recommending you do either; I'm just saying while the system is flawed, at least, Western "democracies" have one. The alternative seems to be (1) leaving the country or (2) fighting anybody who threatens your sovereignty.

Yeah, it would be great to have to arm myself just to drive down the street because the dude at the corner decided to implement a toll to drive in front of his house. Lawlessness! The only law of the land under anarchy is might. The concept of "right" goes out the window.
I understand the frustration, but that third paragraph suggests you're not very happy with yourself? I ask because everybody knows a country is not a sentient being with feelings and opinions; a country is just a variety of individuals with differing opinions. Anyway, flowers can grow even in junkyards; can we not find peace and the means to enjoy and improve ourselves... in any country?
