How is it subverting the autonomy of others to require them to fund the externalities of their actions?

As with most things, it's a little of both, not binary. Your decisions effects others, others decisions effect you. You can spend your entire life not making a dent into how complicated that particular equation is..or...you can just not be a dick and either try to help other folks or at least not go out of your way to make their lives worse.
The thing that the system does, continuously, for decades, is not a "big breakdown". It is obviously the purpose of the system, intended by those who control the system. The system is not waiting for a good person to come along. That candidates lie about everything all the time has been a commonplace assumption throughout my lifetime. Yet still they are elected...
Since I am an anarchist, I often argue against arbitrary authority and its capricious and unjust actions. I contrast my position with those of people like yourself who believe that their own economic decisions entitle them to subvert the autonomy of others.
