Well, why do they? The cell phone uses private and public infrastructure to be transported and operated, which they don't contribute to, and these sovcits are gung-ho on private rights and all that, so why should a private company like Verizon have to allow them to use their wireless or internet networks?
And unless they walk across the air to get to the store to buy food, all of that was transported via public infrastructure (roads, trains, ships, etc), of which they would also need to utilize to get their food. Again, none of which they want to contribute to.
No one is stopping them from checking out of society and living in the woods or whatever. Again, you don't get the benefits of the social contract and then decide you're special and none of the obligations are applicable to you, personally.
Life's not fair and it sucks, get over it.
No, again, they're welcome to live in the woods or wherever. There's no magic combination of words or make believe forms that gets you out of taxes or alimony or to get a house for free or whatever other nonsense these sovcits are coming up with.
It's pure entitlement on their part, that they're somehow more specialer than the rest of humanity who also didn't choose to be here and also had no say in the capitalist hellscape we all get to live in.
