There's no cheat code to not participate and not reap any benefits either, even if you live off grid in the middle of nowhere. You might not recognize the government but the government doesn't give a fuck.

But... they do receive benefits. Even if it's something relatively simple like "driving on public roads" or "not having your home burn to the ground if there's a fire". That's my point. We should all participate in society and receive the benefits.

Also not having some foreign soldier come and do something horrible to you. If you truly want to live free of government benefits, you need to find a place with no government.

Plenty of places in Africa for that but of course they wouldn't wanna live there.

I'm saying if you went out of your way to live totally off grid far from civilization to avoid receiving benefits, doesn't matter how little you take from society, the government doesn't care.
