User talk:Shyguy76767

Welcome!

Hello, Shyguy76767, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Taxation is theft

Although I agree with you that taxation is coercive, I think you will find no mainstream sources which assert that. Please see WP:Verify, which is one of the Wikipedia pillars. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 03:55, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked at the page and then on to the neutrality section. I am very disheartened by what I see as being a very confused and inconsistent application of ideas, which speaks little for the truth value of Wikipedia, since if "the mainstream" believed that 2 + 2 was 5... What's the point in editing for accuracy if rule of the popularity mob will rue the day? How could articles not ultimately end up like crap, the lingual version of 2 + 2 = 5? Nay - we have Anarchism and probably many others to show true the insecurity of Wikipedia of wanting to be taken seriously by the statist paperback encyclopedias the winners of war wrote. How, then, is Wikipedia not a soap box of popular opinion, which is stupified contradictions of a populous that believes falsehoods? Shyguy76767 (talk) 05:53, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not the mainstream view is correct, it is what we report. It is not often true that the the mainstream view is populist or popular. If you do not want to follow Wikipedia policies, you should write on another forum. (I should add that, when discussing minority or fringe groups, it is appropriate to discuss the mainstream view among those fringe groups. However, "taxation as coercion" is even less mainstream than "taxation is theft". That governments require taxation is almost certainly true, but not commented on in reliable sources, so we don't comment on it here, except as a view espoused by fringe groups. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 06:00, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Does Wikipedia use reasoning, or popular opinion? Wikipedia is not just unscientific by obvious measures, but for topics not reducible to non-political subjects, utterly corrupt in content. This is because taxation, which is coercive, is thought to be voluntary. This results in society being based on involuntary participation, and deceit and lies to enable it, with the inculcated assumption of voluntary taxation being the core of the corruption.

Unless Wikipedia looks at it's foundation and does a re-assessment, its content is doomed to perpetual inferiority and infighting, which it is already characterized by, as "taken seriously" is a common theme regarding edits.

Reporting about corruption may be the policy of Wikipedia by extension; it is not something I want any part of. I will indeed write and converse elsewhere. Shyguy76767 (talk) 06:06, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
