I don't know the context of this note but I have some thoughts.
I love freedom but I'm also a realist.
"Lul just stop paying taxes bro" is fedposting at best, naivety at worst.
"Lul just ditch ever...
i think you bring up a lot of valid points, but i respectfully disagree. i believe your perspective to be defeatist, and i am by no means an optimist. but before i make that claim, I would have to ask how many hours have put into finding the answers to your questions?
did you look for real world examples of people answering those questions?
i asked, because i have and thats how i ended up on this platform.
first you mention:
'just stop paying taxes'
this is not impractical. My case study is the amish.
the only impracticality is thinking one can sustain the overtly lavish life style filled with hedonism, without opting into the government system. Living a moderately minimal lifestyle can help offset. a small example would be having 1 pair of clothes for formal, casual, and sports. instead of having 10 pairs of jeans, 20 t shirts, 10 shorts, and 8 suits all in different colors and patterns. but i digress.
objectively speaking, as slaves/citizens of a government, there is a bare minimum threshold of money your allowed to make without being penalized. which tells us that the government depending on what country you live in does not want you to make above a certain amount.
but if you do make above a certain amount, your government expects you to spend that money specific places. this is known as tax credits, breaks, cuts, etc. these are incentives the government uses to control your extra capital, because if you are using fiat, it is not your money. (which is why we use bitcoin)
THE FIX
form or find a relatively small community of people producing food, water, and the bare essentials, and establish a trade agreement like a country would.
DO NOT TRade in fiat currency.
but you can trade hard assets like gold, tools, action figures, cars, artwork, instruments, etc.
you can also trade your skills or services.
the overall goal is to make less then 1k dollars a year. if you can do that, you are useless to the government.
but if you use the governments services expect foul play.
'ditch every convenience...dump...hours into learning niche tools'
this is not mandatory. the niche tools are simply for navigating a wicked government. honestly people should be focused on local resource, human and otherwise. True freedom is within walking distance.
however the government wins when you stop supporting local businesses and resources by engaging with super markets, fast food, franchises, cars, big brands etc.
lasty, in regards to being a 'state cuck'
its true. the goal, is to be fully reliant on local resources and then once you are no longer relying on the government, you can step into the greater community to add and extract value.
so i think 'state cuck' is a little inaccurate. its more accurate to say we are 'boomerang kids' or 'dependent adults'
though i understand the sentiment behind 'state cuck' being that the state receives all the benefits while we willingly agree to get nothing. i would say that only applies to people that give up on looking for a way out, and get comfortable with their negative situation. it is in reference to a mind set, not an attack. a cuck willingly submits and does not try to make his situation better. because he has become the warden of his own mind. keeping himself where he believes he belongs.
