Yes, scale is really important. I think a lot of the opportunities for resource distribution and coordination of public goods/services are at the local level. At the scale of the municipality, or even the neighborhood. I think the question to ask is: what are the requirements for a decent standard of living and how can a society be structured so that everyone has at least a minimum level from which to thrive. I would say some key elements for wellbeing include access to housing (shelter, water, sanitation, electricity etc), safety, education and healthcare.

but you don't live in a bubble. you also benefit from the provision of public goods and services. it's the free rider problem.

yeah but you are leaving out why they are deciding this, and how you got the stuff in the first place. i would say it's a collective decision to allocate resources for the public good.

sounds like your problem is with democracy

in a democracy you vote for parties based on their taxation and other policies, and the ones favoured by the majority of people (or whatever system is used) are implemented. what you see as being involuntary theft could also be seen as belonging/contributing to the society in which you live, based on democratic principles. in a participatory democracy you would participate even more directly in political decisions and policies that affect your life. of course no one wants to give up their hard-earned money to be spend ineffectively or on the wrong things. this is why citizen participation, in all its forms, is important.

I actually believe in a high bar for regulating speech. But there are words and symbols that invoke violence and are hate-fueled and have a real impact on those on the receiving end. Adjudicating this is always very context specific. Deliberate lies and misinformation for political or monetary gain, bearing in mind the public good, should not be beyond question and sanction.

happy sunday nostriches 🌻

taxation is sharing for the public good, not theft. let's discuss who's having to contribute more, how it's being spent, on who and on what, which people are making these decisions etc.

maybe look around you and see how much you currently take for granted, and then let's talk about being deluded.
