Incredible how well you blind yourself.
And 2025 America makes things significantly different?
It's not a whataboutism: You asserted, categorically, that I personally CAN leave this government's jurisdiction and that its actions are legitimate because substantially all such people as me who grow very discontent with it can do so and thus deprive the government of funding and support. How was democratic Germany with a party of Nazis in it gaining popularity so different than today's America that suddenly substantially none of the people could leave? At what point does that occur??
This is the only logical conclusion permissible from what you have said: You have now admitted that there is a distinction and that SOME governing jurisdictions can be nonconsensual! So this means there is a point at which they become nonconsensual. You seem to have a very liberal construction of what implies consent. Mine is more strict. That is the difference between our two legal theories, if I am being charitable. If I am not being charitable, your legal theory is inconsistent, self-contradictory, and inevitably leads to despotism.
There is no way to escape this conclusion. At least I was wrong about one thing: you do not believe a legal theory that would imply that the Jews committed suicide, so that can be of some consolation. It is funny however to live in a country that taxes you no matter where you travel in the world and can force extradition from its many allied nations at your expense, and call that necessarily consensual by all your fellow Americans. Very funny.
