The Tax Revolt

In the realm of economics, hidden taxes are considered the worst taxes, as they corrupt the relationship between the parties in a transaction. The hidden tax adds a third party to the transaction, which clouds the true cost from buyer and seller. This secret partner to the transaction is often the government. Fees in the supply chain, like energy taxes, for example, show up in the cost of the product or service, but they are not disclosed, so the true cost is hidden from both the seller and buyer in many cases.

In the social realm, there are hidden taxes that are not really hidden, as they are experienced every day, but no one thinks of them as taxes. For example, people living in Lagos on the Chesapeake are well aware of the tax. This is the daily cost of insulating yourself from crime and mayhem. It may be a direct tax like alarm systems or bars on the windows. It can also be an indirect tax, like the two hour commute from one part of the suburbs to another. Time is just another form of money.

There is also an emotional cost that comes with living around so much vibrancy. When you live in a place like Lagos, around the tax, you can never relax. Life in diverse areas is a constant struggle between two species that were never meant to occupy the same ecosystem. The fragile peace is a source of stress, because it is so fragile. You know that the cost of that peace is tolerating the endless inconveniences. The pale face just assumes maintaining the peace is his burden alone.

It is not just the anxiety of living in constant danger. The tax shows up in a million little ways in your daily life. If you go into a lunch place in certain parts of town, you can expect to see a local struggling to order from the menu. The inculcated sense of entitlement means they will waste time ordering odd things that slow up the whole process for everyone. In the grocery store, shoppers will pick checkout lines, based on the assumed tax in each option. Everyone tries to be a tax dodger.

Like real taxes, there is no way to avoid the tax. In a place like Lagos, it is everywhere and is just a part of the background radiation of the universe. One just learns to navigate around these burdens. You are only made aware of the tax when you go away to some tax haven and then return to Lagos. The most stressful day of vacation is the first day back. It’s like moving from black and white to color. For newcomers, the tax is not just disorienting, it can be terrifying, but then they acclimate.

Of course, the newest tax comes from open borders. Illegal immigration is fueled by the demand for cheap labor. All of those little brown guys riding leaf blowers are here because they are cheap. The price of the landscaping services may be lower, but the cost shows up in the emergency room or in the police blotter. This is a form of cost shifting that is, in effect, a hidden tax on the people using other services. The high cost of cheap labor is another hidden tax all of us are forced to pay.

The tax is not just a racial thing. The ultimate cause of the tax is Progressive whites, who are a tireless burden on everyone around them. When box wine auntie shows up for Thanksgiving dinner, everyone pays the price for tolerating her. The day is a little less enjoyable, a little less relaxed. In many cases, everyone is thankful that racist Uncle Bob did not strangle her at the table. Perhaps instead of thankful, everyone is disappointed. Again, everyone secretly wishes to be free of the tax.

That, of course, is the ultimate hidden tax. Every normal person has had to self-censor, hold their tongue around some Progressive goofball. Maybe it is at work, where fear of being canceled out of your job leads to self-censorship. Often, it is in daily life where everyone avoids certain topics around the liberal guy. Being polite, something that is supposed to be a gift you give to others, becomes another tax in your life. Every normal man has quietly thought about canceling the tax man in their life.

The tax is everywhere. Turn on the television to watch a sportsball game and you will be inundated with commercials for race mixing, homosexuals and girl power. What should be a few hours vegging out in front of the tube to watch men play a game, quickly turns into an aggravation that saps your strength. TV ratings have declined for sports, because for many normal people, the tax is now exceeding the benefit. Staring blankly at the wall is more relaxing than another lecture on girl power.

This is the massive hidden tax on normal people. The price of tolerating Progressive lunatics is the stress of crumbling community, the irritation of endless propaganda and the bitterness than comes with self-censorship. Everyone’s life is diminished because a small group of people impose a heavy tax burden on the rest of us. The rise of dissident politics is not a reaction to Progressive lunacy, so much as it is the result of carrying the hidden tax burden. Normal white men are tired of paying the damned tax.

One part of the problem is that we have lost all power–formal power and soft power–to punish. If the Taxers go unpunished, they’re just going to continue to run riot–indeed there seems no limit to their degeneracy and degradation. A lot of people have pointed out that the explicit and implicit burdens on our people are much higher than those that the British placed on the American colonists to spur the independence movement. Perhaps it would be better to reframe What Comes Next not as a civil war but as a second war of independence. I often take business trips… Read more »

But the black is thinking the same thing when walking through your neighborhood. He experiences the ability to walk around without people walking up to him asking for money or otherwise bothering him. He feels safe. He enjoys the quietness.
The Asians probably feel the same way about you that you feel about the black.

I don’t think the black does Tars. There’s a reason blacks were called sp00ks. Quiet, while relaxing for the European man, is unsettling for the African. They seek out loud environments because they have no inner dialogue. They would probably be freaked out walking around in a silent suburb.

Many middle-class Blacks choose to live in Black neighborhoods. They send their children to private schools and are wary of crime, but prefer to live with people they consider their own kind.

In the mostly White, suburban NJ neighborhood that I live, the police will come if a neighbor complains about party noise after 10 pm. I doubt that would happen in Newark or East Orange.

So true, Tars. Nobody speaks for for the talented tenth. And in their own societies, the ruthless and stupid outnumber them so that they can never gain a foothold.

All good tenths- even Jews!- are torn by the dual demands of identity, of us or them.
It’s like a white man siding with meth heads in Kentucky.

This raises a question.
We, the White world, are the last, the only sanctuary on this planet.

The question this time is not, “where will we go”, but rather, “where will THEY go”, when we are gone.

Well said. Derbyshire can dream of his purported ‘ice-people’ alliance (i.e. his marriage writ large). Others of us recognize the vast gulf between Whites and others, even those others not as dysfunctional as Negroes. They’re still alien in culture and behavior and thought, and their cultural norms are not a comfortable fit for most Whites. You may not feel unsafe walking their streets at night, but the crowding, the constant competitiveness, and the lack of privacy and individuality is disquieting at best.

The biggest tax of all is the dread of falling under the power of people who hate your guts…the dread of being unmanned and humiliated by small minded POCs and their enablers. The struggle by millions of white men to stay ahead of the Progressive Tidal Wave is constant and debilitating. At the beginning of the 1980s I knew I had to figure out how to be self-employed with few or no employees, and stay in the six-figure realm. That would be true liberty, or at least as much of it as could reasonably be expected this day and age.

You would think these cities would have the lowest numbers of progressives because it is impossible to not be aware of the ‘rules’ whites have to follow in them. One obvious example is the tax subsidized public transit. People would rather start their day sitting in miles of bumper to bumper traffic than to experience the diversity on the train. My city has an elevated line locally called ‘the el.’ Back when my parents were young, hundreds of thousands of people rode to work rather than drive. Even when I was little there was standing room only on the un-air-conditioned… Read more »

About 20 years ago my wife was asking me why I was transitioning the family “off the grid” … no TV, strictly limiting visits from dysfunctional family members, ruthlessly culling the “friends” who sucked energy from the household, then moving to the country to grow our own food, burn firewood, install a solar system, and shut/lock the farm gate at the end of the work day.

I would add that the breakdown in societal trust is a huge unrecognized tax as well. In a high trust society, you can focus most of your energy on productive pursuits. Conversely, in a low trust society, playing perpetual defense against potential attack is debilitating and wasteful. It ultimately limits the positive output of a nation.

Whiskey can speak for himself, but the endgame has got to be the restoration of patriarchy. Sadly, I see no way to do that, save a mass conversion to Islam (the subject of Michel Houellebecq’s novel, Submission) or another religion that defines sex roles along traditional lines. Otto von Bismarck stated the best role of women in society quite succinctly: Kueche, Kinder, Kirche (kitchen, children, church).

The carrying costs of welfare are pennies compared to war, divorce, compliance, student loans, etc.

We’re prosperous enough to free them, and let women pursue womanly pursuits. The social carrying costs would actually be a net gain. I’d rather they chase men than be them.

The Baby Boomers spit in their parents faces. And yet their parents didn’t cut them off. They kept footing the bills to send their precious Boomers to university. Those precious darlings still get rich today inheriting their parents’ hard-won savings.

In other words, they learned that their actions have no consequences.

If you’re truly worried that you’ll lose your children to rainbow flags and snowflaitis then make sure they know that your loyalty to family ends at civil war, and any movement that seeks to destroy the family can’t expect to be fed, housed, clothed, and pampered by the family.

I like to say that things go better when you live like you don’t give a crap about what is going on around you. In other words, not buying into the soul-sucking things that the employment tasks or the people around you demand of you. Do them, sure, but neither buy into them nor allow them to dictate your mood. Now I understand that it is living tax-free in a taxable environment. Thanks for the insight!

Z, I’m a puzzled by your constant use of the term “normal people.” Seriously, how many “normal people” do you actually know? In the circles I move in (educated white people), very few would meet your definition of normal, which makes the use of the term, um, problematic. Lotta white people have college degrees these days! If you live in Charles Murray’s Belmont, woke is the new normal. When it comes right down to it, as a faith system Wokism is no more nonsensical than most religions. And religion is a very normal part of human society! This would hardly… Read more »

This is a fooking great explanation of a complex concept. I’ll be using this to redpill some people I know.

That is what I love about this site (and why I support it) — Zman approaches everyday problems and frustrations from new and insightful angles., I had never thought about the major mayhem and petty annoyances imposed by progs as forms of tax — but they can definitely be seen that way. And resented all the more…

Agreed. My attention span for writers usually lasts a couple years or so, then I move on; mostly because they usually go through all their interesting ideas and have to start recycling them. Even the good ones like Mark Steyn and VDH have gotten repetitive to me and I rarely read them anymore. Not so with the Z-man (at least not yet…).

Keep up the great work!

I”m sick of ‘duh-versity’. If you do a search for ‘diversity and inclusion’ on a job search board, you will find it’s disgusting what these people get paid. It’s too bad we can’t repeal women’s suffrage, kick out of lot of the ‘duh-versity’ from America including a number of foreigners, and execute politicians and shutdown organizations that cause these problems.

Thanks, that made my day brighter. Some dude on the internet noted that any un-moderated forum will turn right wing. Listen to this: Daniel said: “Once, I found a colleague of ours checking online, looking to purchase a Taser, because he started to feel scared about others. He confessed he was really concerned about walking through the streets at night, for example, or being surrounded by foreign people. Maybe because all this hate speech we have to face every day affects our political view somehow. So a normal person, a liberal person, maybe also a progressive person, can get more… Read more »

Don’t worry Z. The vibrancy is making its way into white suburbia. We pay for a grossly overpriced shoebox with exorbitant condo fees just for the privilege of living next to the wealthy. but alas all is not well in Mayberry ! The constant clanking of bulldozers and back up alarms means the obama housing on the next block is almost finished 🙁 Yes , the money people tried to dodge that bullet for a long time, but the Feds finally caught up with them and now the mandatory low income housing is here. The first victim will be the… Read more »

A Progressive/Vibrancy tax? I wonder if I’m subject to it? Let’s see. I:
1. Am a straight white Christian male
2. Live in a Large Northeastern Metropolis(TM)
3. Work in the entertainment industry (yes, I’m the carny in the room)
Hmmm. I’m sure I don’t know what you mean.

Off topic, but I recommend you take a look (if you haven’t already) at Czeslaw Milosz’s The Captive Mind. Particularly chapters 1 (The Pill of Murti-Bing) and 3 (Ketman). It’s a fairly short book, written in 1951. Murti-Bing comes from a different book from the early 30s.

Agreed. It’s a great book. And sheds light on the bureau-fascist twits who have taken over our government institutions since the 1960s. Czeslaw Milosz gave the warning back in the 50s. No one listened.

Reason magazine standard retort #666,666,666: Well you see those migrants are collecting welfare and getting Obamacare. Welfare and Obamacare bad! Also, high cost of living due to high rents. High rents caused by land use restrictions leading to not enough cheap housing for next 45 million migrants. Land use restrictions bad! In LibertyLand, Los Angeles suburbs end in Kansas! Migrants drive to jobs as Junior Leaf Blower Engineer in flying cars that cruise at Mach 2. Supersonic flying car invented by migrant you know!

“TV ratings have declined for sports, because for many normal people, the tax is now exceeding the benefit.”

I’ll watch a good college game if I have the time, and the only pieces of NFL games I see are the few minutes I may spend at friends’ houses who have the game on, so I’m not sure I’m correct on this, but it seems like there may be different genres of commercials between the two types of games. Am I correct or mistaken?

For all those who think corporations should be taxed at higher rates than present, just remember that corporations do not pay taxes, they collect them. An onerous and very well hidden tax – it’s not even on the receipt you receive – is the tax on gasoline. Most gasoline taxes (federal + state tax) are in the 40 cents to 50 cents/gallon range and some are 60 cents/gallon or higher. What a sick joke indeed when the price of international oil skyrockets and thus as well gasoline prices, and the communist POS members of Congress drag the oil executives into… Read more »

This is quite similar to some personal thoughts I’ve have of my home region, the Balkans. In short, the only way to maintain peace within a given region, where at least one actor/group is willing to exterminate all others, is to ensure that the cost of violent action is so high that even an irrational person would chose not to engage in it. One way to do this is to make the response / consequence utterly disproportional to the initial action. The kind of culture it creates is therefore one where peace exists, but violence is a persistent undercurrent of… Read more »

This is a great essay. The play on the notion of ‘taxing’ really brings out many different aspects of why ethno-genetic nationalist sentiment continues to grow. Right now ‘conservatives’ want to focus on the governmental ‘taxation’ ethnos and the ‘taxing’ nature of the Progressive ethnos but are, generally, unwilling to yield anything to the genetic (racial) aspects of the problem. I think White Nationalists are, in general, focused on the genetic aspects of nationalism, but are willing to concede that there are some Whites that are race-traitors and do not deserve to be part of a White homeland.

A tax is a tax is a tax. Tax tax tax and more tax. It all adds up. Total consiousness is consciousness without tax.
