Taxes make the overall quality of life for myself and everyone around me of a higher standard, so I'm happy I pay them. I'm just not happy rich people and mega corps do not.

dont let anyone stop you from spinning
As a matter of fact, I, too, pretend to live a carefree life of silly antics whilst existing in a confined space that offers a poorly-executed illusion of freedom.
Just imagine how chill the world would be if we were all a bunch of goobers?
It would never work. They HATE goobers
but if we were all a bunch of goobers then they would be goobers too.

Well to think them aren't also very violent and wouldn't kill each other for territories is pretty delusional. Nature is not kind.
Counterpoint: bonobos. Also, as far as I know orangutans seem to be generally pretty chill dudes, nothing like chimpanzees.
That’s the least sexy monkey I’ve ever seen.
Elden ring cosplayers, ugh.

Who would pay for the zoo?
We are kinda just bunch of chemical reactions that one day gained consciousness and decided to form government
It always irks me that even though we have no idea what consciousness is we assume it's a human only thing.
Over the last 4 months or so, I've been learning quite a bit about spiders, like the fact that jumping spiders can count.
Researchers would set the spider up on an elevated platform where they could see like 3 flies or something, but to get them, they'd have to plan a route through a bit that will blind them briefly. If they come out of the blind and see that the flies are not 3 anymore, they'll hesitate and watch for a bit, as if they're surprised or suddenly uncertain.
They're also capable of learning. Orb weavers rebuild their webs every night, and they build it differently depending on what prey they expect to find. But not only that, if a prey goes absent, but is reintroduced later, they're quicker to resume a web that worked for that kind before.
It's important not to humanize too much; you may make assumptions that will get you in trouble. But, I do think there's a little consciousness in that small body.
A large number of insects also are very likely capable of experiencing pain. When I researched this it made me question a lot of my conceptions.
