"You can go to jail for not filing your taxes. You can go to jail for lying on your return. But you can’t go to jail for not having enough money to pay your taxes. "
That is, if you intentionally avoid paying taxes by either not filing or filing a fraudulent report, then you certain can go to jail. See Al Capone for the most famous example.
The ocean is the only place not claimed by a nation. That's the point. You cannot buy land, and have it declared yours, not subject to the authority of a nation.
If you support violence, that's fine. Go ahead and say so, and make that arguement. Lots of people support the government's monopoly on violence. It is not a particularly controversial opinion to have.
But don't pretend like exiling people from land that they own is "non violent". Just be honest with yourself and say "yes. I support the government's monopoly on violence". It's not hard, nor controversial.
If someone is squatting in your house, benefiting from money you spend on it, you are justified in evicting them.
> The ocean is the only place not claimed by a nation. That's the point. You cannot buy land, and have it declared yours, not subject to the authority of a nation.
This has been true since basically the dawn of human civilization. Just in those times, you were subject to the authority of invaders.

Owning land is a concept that only exists inside of a system of government with a mechanism to enforce property rights. If they decide they don't want to be subject to the rules of society, they don't get to have their cake and eat it too.

This argument is only valid if you believe that the 200 countries in the world own every single inch of land in the world.

Yes, and this would be described as violence.
And that's fine. If you believe in the authority of the monopoly on violence of governments, all you have to do is say so! That's it!
This is merely a descriptive claim I am making. That the act of owning every plot of land in the world, and preventing other people from owning it, and then kicking people off of 100% of the land, is violence.
If there was an ever expanding mirror world, where people could up and leave too, then this would not be violence.
Or in other words, owning 100% of something is violence, but owning 0.00001 % of something is not.
And all you have to do is say that you support the uncontroversial opinion of the government monopoly on violence, and we are good to go. Easy!
