I am one of the fortunate people in my country who, if I add up all the taxes I pay, has had around 70% of my income taken by the state.

For every €100 net that I pay for something, I first had to earn €333.33. €233.33 goes to the state and €100 to the producer, without even taking into account that the producer then pays taxes again.

This is an absolute absurdity, the European Union is an absolute absurdity, and my living conditions get worse every day, and I certainly can't afford many luxuries.

How am I supposed not to hate the state? How am I supposed not to hate democracy?

How can you afford to hold onto sats and not sell them to pay fiat bill eventually?

Hate doesn’t help fixing things. Just take the orange pill and get out of the Matrix. 🙄⚡️

I feel you, but as Churchill said "Democracy is not perfect but it is the best on the block. You see what happened to Tibet theocracy, You see the conditions in North Korea's communism and the difference with the South Korea democracy, you see Iran theocracy, you see the Saudis monarchy, you see US...
