Thanks! But the argument doesn't depend on anything else than the most basic fact:
There is no collective guilt. Only the guilty are guilty, not everyone sharing some identity with them.

does paying taxes make you guilty?

No. Those who raise taxes are guilty. I don't pay voluntarily.
I think this is where we disagree.
I don't pay voluntarily, but I tend to think that my failure to resist/oppose payment creates some guilt on my behalf.
It is most certainly a good idea to avoid paying taxes to war criminals. It's not easy. I changed country to achieve it and it's not enough.
But you can't blame the victim of a robbery for what the thugs do with your money.
I think we might be debating spectrum v boolean - with me saying "spectrum" and you saying "boolean"
Agree 💯
