And yet you fund the killing with your taxes. You know they kill, you know they need money to build the killing machines, you give them money.

Both you and Google are helping with the killing because it helps you make money. That’s okay. We all do terrible things for money.

You can withhold taxes by dropping your income below the minimum threshold.

yes, but you cannot deny paying these taxes because you live at the wims of the tyranny of the majority.

You could ofcourse proclaim not wanting to take part in said nation anymore and not pay the taxes, but then you would also loose out of well, the rest of society basically.

All you have to do is live unemployed and take money from the government, thus draining it of killing money.
