Because you live in society, you benefit from society, and you wouldn’t last 5 minutes outside of society.

It was in a huge formal garden you need to pay to get into. I am a member. No taxes involved!

Sarcasm or troll? It’s one or the other

[giardini]

It may be neither sarcasm nor troll. I see it as an honest question that deserves a reasoned answer. Here's my initial take:

If a public organization dedicates land to a park, they usually provide some facilities (trash cans, benches, water fountains, bathrooms, parking lots, even soccer/football fields. How much is provided varies on the organization budget and willingness to provide. You can vote for/against but you can also attend meetings and argue pro/con on such amenities. The presence of the park may contribute or subtract from the land values of the surrounding area depending on how well maintained it is.

In the long run park land may be sold for its real-estate value. It is always valuable property.

Because your miserable life of incessant shitposting serves no purpose, so it was decided to spend your money so that at least other people could be happier.

You object to your taxes being used to improve society??
