>People evading their responsibilites as you do,
Because I refuse to pay taxes and join the military? How can you fail to address the aggressive atrocities and corruption that government perpetrates (are you completely ignorant of them, do you need me post a very long and ugly list?) or acknowledge that it is valid to NOT participate or support them? So much easier to just write me off as a freeloader, who cares only about myself, but completely intellectually dishonest, as per your usual.
>whether they are ashamed of themselves as they should be or claiming
>that it shows their higher morality, are a burden to societies.
Criticizing someone for riding a high horse for pointing out heinous violence and injustice and calling out those who support it means exactly squat. Self aggrandizement or derision of others is not at all my intention, though on the other hand I don't really give two squirts whether anyone thinks that about me.

Better to die alone, brutally, than live with a bunch of fucktards who feel they have the right to force you into "compulsory service" of any kind. Just my opinion.
>Only a completely idiotical pacifist can fail to differentiate
>between an imperialistic army and a defensive one,
Agreed. I'm not a pacifist, and I challenge you to quote anything I have said that indicates that. I have specifically advocated for the defense principle numerous times. It sounds to me like you are so emotionally attached to the righteousness of your "defensive" army, that you fail to recognize or address the atrocities committed by it. Just because I recognize the immorality of conscription and order following doesn't mean I'm a pacifist. I live in the USA, and the military is the most brutally offensive and murderous that the world has ever seen, I would sooner die than support any of its agendas, and I would be happy to provide a very long post detailing evidence to support this statement.

Meaningless and senseless death. I'm guessing you can't be bothered to read All Wars Are Bankers Wars or research any of the war history it contains. People who fight in these wars are idiots, (unless they are fighting in genuine defense on their own or in voluntary militia of some kind) regardless of which side they are fighting on, pawns in a scheme that means little more than making bankers rich and giving them control of resources, land, people, and nations.

Good people don't imagine themselves to have the authority to assign others the duty of "compulsory service" or in other words, good people don't imagine that they have the right to enslave others.
>but instead do more for the community than what is required from them.
The measure of what someone contributes is not the measure of their obedience to you or any other would be dictator(s). Good people don't cause violence and are mindful not to feed violent agendas with their productive energy.

From what I can see, shitholes are caused by imperialistic invasions and pillaging, performed exclusively (at any scale) by nation state governments and the corporations they serve. But I'm sure it's far more comfortable and superior to blame it on "those lazy deadbeats who only care about themselves".
>Most people also understand that an army is a crucial tool for protecting

Most people are also dumber than a bag of rocks, brainwashed by propaganda in academia and media, conditioned to look the other way from the atrocities of government and military, or even glorify them.

What freeride? I never asked to be protected by any army or military, and in fact wish not to be. You have no right to force your government protection or any other service on me when I don't want it just because I was born here, then claim I'm "lazy" when I don't want to pay you for it and have me thrown in jail if I don't pay up. Don't you see how retarded, violent, and immoral that is?

What an extremely vague lie you tell yourself to justify your own participation in violence, that completely ignores the objective analysis of the aggression inevitably and demonstrably funded by any money that is collected coercively. All that aggression and violation of human rights perpetrated by the government that you would just prefer to ignore or pretend is somehow justified so that cognitive dissonance doesn't melt your brain.
> It [the political community] constrains in the context of a common organization aiming at shared goals.
What if I don't share those goals, and just prefer to be left alone? Oh that's right, you feel you have the right to assume that I share your goals without asking me and to throw me in a cage if I don't support "our" shared goals.
>Of course the goals are not always shared 100%, which may lead
>your tax money to also be used on some goals that you have not chosen to pursue.
In other words, yes we're going to take your money and spend it on what we want, not what you want, sucker.
>But the greater the constraint, the more shared the goal,
>or else the internal tension would become too great.
The goals are NOT shared by everyone forced to participate. And no one (not even a body of voters) has a right to steal from others to fund their own agenda, or force others to pay for services.

>and freedom, and the life and freedom of the ones we love,
It's a valid assumption that we all want to preserve life and freedom, but what's not valid is the assumption that a particular group somehow has the right to force their protection services on everyone, and to coercively collect their paychecks from those not wishing to engage or benefit from that group's protection.
>thereby avoiding as much as possible what is shown on your picture
>with the crying orphan.
It's when you join the military that you are ordered to commit these atrocities (which any moral person would absolutely refuse to do). Private individuals don't hold a candle when it comes to this kind of violence.
>By the way why was the father not serving in the army and thereby

Probably because he didn't want to be enlisted to follow immoral orders that serves corporate agenda under the guise of protecting his country. I will criticize him for not being personally prepared with his own arms, not voluntarily organizing for defense within his community, and not fighting back according to the dictates of his own conscience, if that was the case.
>Maybe he was a pacifist like you? Well, everything is fine then,

The moral thing to do would have been to kill the piece of shit soldier threatening his family.

You'll have to pardon me if I take this as a cheap excuse for intellectual laziness and a convenient way to avoid addressing my points.
