Nice write! saved as a road map. This is going to sound bad, because "Taxation is theft", it's immoral but how you handle that? We are talking about the big brother with the ability to use the force.
Are you already reach the point where you don't care and hope for the best? (want to get there).
I'm not sure if this answer helps, but being a nomad, I'm flexible and independent, and I vote with my feet.
Tips:
- live in places that leave you alone
- stay lowkey, avoid attracting too much attention
- take advantage of the differences between countries

Voting with your feet is still so underrated, even in 2023.
The memory of 2020 is long gone. I know a lot of people believe when ‘things get really bad’ they’ll move… but when things do, people won’t be able to use their feet. They will be forced to adapt to a significantly more hostile environment, live a far different life. But remember that there are better options out there. It need not be gloomy.
If others are reading this and already have a family open to a move, don’t delay. Lay the groundwork now, before 2024. Collect the paperwork needed and take a vacation to scout 1 or 2 locations.
It won’t be the same in every country, not at all. The internet is great and opportunities are abounds, but being around a place of tranquility and in a stable environment is really where the value is. I don’t believe we have witnessed the worst of what big government is capable of. Have another option in your back pocket, ready to go. That would be my advice to anyone who feels open to making that move.

I don't fully get the "taxation is theft". Yes, too much taxation is for sure theft (and in the current world this is exactly that), but some level makes sense.
On the other hand, if you live in a certain place, you probably made a choice to move there, you should follow some rules that that particural place has, shouldn't you? And if you are not happy with the rules than try to change them. Saying fuck off and not pay taxes does not seem to me like the solution. Sure, it helps you in the short term and perhaps lands you in some legal trouble down the road, but it is very selfish (which is kind of against the Bitcoin ethos imho).
Imagine you come visit to my house for a braai and I require you to pay 5 eur for entry. Then you can either choose to pay it or not come, but you cannot have both.
Not paying taxes is like wanting to have both. (as much as I agree that taxing the shit out of everything is not the way, I also think that not paying them is not the way).

You NEVER gonna make it.

If you don't live in a first world country, you don't have too much choice, you born there, you use a language, you was educated by that country culture and thanks to the internet you learn and know new people.
If the system is broken... you can't fix it following the rules that are place in that place to defense the system.
If you don't pay taxes... as you said you have "legal" trouble, again the system don't like to change...
For the 5 eur entry, you and I, in a simple transaction could decide if we can get to an agreement or not, we don't need a "consensus" by an external majority that could or couldn't apply to our particular transaction.
For me, "taxation is theft", because it is forced and I don't have a choice to op out.

I'd argue the choice is yours when you're an adult. Not an easy choice though.
reply
i would agree. the choice is yours. not saying it is an easy choice, but still, it is up to you

how you handle that?
only shitizens (aka slaves) pay taxes.
sovereign individuals, don't.
When you will learn how to step out from the slave cage, then you will know "how to handle it"...

When you live under totalitarian organized crime, how does one avoid paying protection money when all they need to do is look at what you own and force you to pay them a portion?
