No you still don't get it, the bar owner can share the information with whoever he likes.

The government, does not own the country, it's not "their bar".

You don't understand consent, lots of people don't vote.

And even if they do, they don't automatically consent to all actions performed in their name.

No, the bar owner has a right know who's in his bar.

The local or federal government do not have the right, or need to know the whereabouts of the average law abiding citizen. There is no "free" information, all information has a cost, whether it be acquisition or storage. Currently the people are taxed to oppress themselves. There is no choice not to be taxed, there is no consent.

We're not smart enough to make our own decisions but we're smart enough to vote for the best people to make decisions for us?

Make it make sense.

> as the world starts getting more brand-ed and corporate-y...

I gravitate toward what I consider authenticate/consistent people which for me at least has seemed to work out as I also try to be that way.

> Can you have a linkhut profile...

It doesn't really work that way, you can see other peoples public conversations to see how they interact, as a metric for their personalities, which, might be more work. It's network effects moreso.

as for https://ln.ht, I can see it working for some people, but personally I think there's a bit too much going on, sensory overload.

For me, having been on fedi for like 7 years now, there are cool places, and there are not so cool places. I might be more lucky than most in that I barely need to curate my time there, cause I follow cool people, and so I just see what they like too

this is correct, waves are a product of pressures, so, are emergent also, the real question is, where does the pressure originate

> But it wasn't about how much tax they paid - it was about the idea of being taxed at all.

I don't see a difference, fundamentally it comes down to consent of the governed. If 51% of a country votes for something, and it doesn't happen, then what's the point in voting?

I live in France, which I'm not sure if you paying attention to it (no judgement, why would you), but as a country, they're somewhat financially screwed, so whether or not there are elections, or even if the people have representation, something needs to be done, and it will likely involve higher taxation and cost of living generally.

My original point was about people having any say in terms of how much tax they pay. And the American revolution was an example in the extreme of what can happen, given it did happen.
