Did this actually happen or is this another Hive account@rvanstel thought-up story?

I cannot really argue with your logic on why taxation is theft, it is pretty bullet proof and thus I have to agree ;).

I disagree on the fist symbol, tho. Sure I get that a fist can also be read as a sign of violence, but I connect it more to people fighting, a thing you advocate as well. Oh and I used to be a big Rage against the machine fan :D
