    I’ve quit my job last year figuring I’d stop paying income tax to this garbage federal government. I’ve been using my savings since then and going to protests. It’s been painful to see the protests die down and my friends considering me strange for refusing to go on in my life. I’m guessing this will do damage to my career life and I may not recover from this. Sometimes I’m hoping people will wake up to how evil this regime is, but right now it looks like I’m taking a stand alone. Shit sucks.

      I’m doing relatively the same thing. I’ve been “on strike” since 2021. I’m able to make money on my own and put it under the table so I’m not giving to the system or contributing my labor to it. I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in the endeavor and you aren’t either

        Ah that’s nice to hear! I’m trying to figure out the money thing. What a wild ride to this has become. NGL, I was hoping there was a bit more of an uprising to all of this but people just don’t give a fuck. Oh well

          I can only respect the pair of you

          You’re doing the shutdown and withdrawal of participation needed plus going through the hardships required. Not taking or giving excuses.
