> Using force / aggression (aka the government forcing you to do something) is a violation of your most fundamental rights, and strips you of your agency and dignity as a human being.

This is completely wrong. You have no rights except those guaranteed you by your fellows in a collective agreement. 'Rights' are exactly those things that the collective threatens us against violating in others.

Consider: if it's up to me to violently defend my 'rights' individually, then I am free to decide literally anything is my right. But the things your neighbors will fight others for on your behalf, these are your rights.

> the truth is that nobody is in a better position to determine how your income should be spent than you

Also plain wrong. How much of your income would you have chosen to spend on network protocol research in the late 1970s? Or on growing mold in dishes in 1910? We are much better at these decisions collectively.
