The internet has child porn, so let's shut that down as well??
By contrast, I do advance and enable senseless state violence by paying taxes. It is a source of personal shame.
More to the point, your objection has some merit- but if you (or anyone else reading this) feels that way, are you protesting or otherwise politically agitating against war, or are you just sitting around feeling abstractly ashamed?
But that wasn't quite the point I was making. All I'm saying is that there's no reason to be proud per se of paying taxes.
And while I wish that education were better funded (and National Parks, and NPR), I don't think that it's reasonable to suppose that, so long as we make the mistake of delegating those things to the state, that it won't use our money mostly for misery and death.
The state takes tax money and uses it to literally put people in cages and literally drop explosives and chemicals on children. I didn't mean this as an analogy - it's a literal statement.
