I'm 42 and I couldn't disagree more. I judge people right away by how they earn a living. Government commits extortion to fund itself. Taxation is extortion by definition. Anyone receiving income from extorted funds is living a fraudulent lifestyle and is a criminal. This includes EVERYONE taking a paycheck that's paid in tax dollars which mean EVERYONE in government.
If you're a teacher and are paid with money that was collected through property taxation - you might not know it, but you're a fraud too. However, its hard to make someone see the truth if their paycheck depends on them being blind to it.
I think we're basically on the same page. I decided to put teaching on the back seat for now due to politics at work causing no end of misery and depression. Moved over to cryptomining and doing not too bad :-)
I take your points, they are valid, I just don't think everyone realises that they are being manipulated further up the chain.
