    I get this sucks but you can quit your job and walk away from your employer, theoretically.

    If the government decides to separate you from your possessions, your freedom, or your life, you can’t walk away from it and find a new government.

    Your boss and your government are just totally different.

      Yeah and be homeless.

      And I don’t participate in government shit unless I have to like taxes cause they’ll come for me if I don’t pay for them kind of thing.

        I mean that’s the difference right there, right? If you quit your job, you’re homeless. If you don’t pay taxes, you’re arrested.

          Homelessness is almost always illegal either directly or indirectly through loitering laws, hostile architecture, bans against begging etc… Also, they almost always have zero protection from criminal behaviour directed at them (from either other citizens or the police themselves). Thinking there is legal room for being homeless is a pretty ignorant take no matter where you are from.
