>I can't think of any worse oppression than taxes, bare forced labour.

Really?

Not among the standard things which every government always does. Are you thinking about crimes against humanity and such?

For example, I am a very strong supporter of free speech. And many or most governments oppress free speech. But I still think that taxing labour is worse than suppressing free speech. I still think taxing labour is worse than oppressing the population with curfews, which is also something almost every government engaged in during the covid pandemic, and which I am against.

    I guess we're just not going to agree on any of this then, because that's pretty much the opposite opinion of mine
