You’re still subject to governance by those authorities, even if you don’t get caught.

But bigger picture ... if you think that living in the Alaska or northern Canada wilderness is going to come with governance, you're just being obstinate. And there are plenty of other places on this globe where one need not be concerned about government.

Alaska Department of Fish and Game might have something to say about this.

Government, by nature of it's inherent power, is inherently evil (it can't help itself). It is of course a necessary evil, but needs to minimized to the greatest practical extent, and carefully monitored.

Good luck finding a better system than the US or some of the better western democratic countries and I am still waiting on that example of libertarian nirvana that so many seem to love using as their imaginary standard.

It’s wild that most of us don’t realize this. Yeah, the system could be better, but good lord look at your life now vs. what life was like for people 1000 years ago and what it is even now for 90% of people around the world.

you should all be kissing your lucky stars the random lottery of birth has you where you are instead of dreaming about some utopia. History has also shaken out in your favor pretty well. I’d be cautious about wanting big change to whatever system we have now.
