WEF, the WHO, and all the other Deep State faggots in DC continue to replicate at an ever increasing rate.
I guess nothing really can stop what's coming.
Americans say that they will just ignore the US collapse, but what will you do when the Gestapo knock down your door to give you an anal swab virus test, mandatory vaccine, and confiscate your guns?
What will you do when inflation is 1 million percent and the US defaults on the debt, Civil War 2.0 starts, and looters stab people with butter knives over a can of corn?
What will you do when the US starts WWIII with Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia and the nuclear bombs explode around you?
Americans are so enslaved now that they scream anyone who loves freedom should be executed.

I grew up in the rugged mountains of West Virginia. Hunting, fishing and camping. Loved camping in the cold snow and hunting deer. No tent, just a good bag or bed roll, a fire and canvas tarp. Good times. I thank the good Lord because he let me grow up in those mountains.

He's talking about within a country.
Is it markets, or technology, that improves the lives of so many?
In my view, the cumulative nature of technology began under the aristocrats and would not have without them.
Capitalism does a great job of economies of scale, which drives down costs and raises quality over time with competition, given an intelligent enough population.
This is why Leftists attack intelligence. It is easier to rule morons.

In my view, this is the future of work.
No benefits, no permanent jobs, just hourly contracting.
It avoids the problem of people just going through the motions and then feeling (partially correctly) enslaved by this.
Jobs are jails.

I would add here, waxing a bit pagan or Anglican perhaps, that individuals cannot invent goal/meaning since such things are at least derived from or dependent upon the world.

Either that, or libertarianism is an ingredient in successful societies.
We can summarize it simply: no socialism.

In my view, liberty/freedom is a means not an end.
That is, people thrive better in a state of as much freedom/liberty as you can give them.
To the founding fathers in the USA, "freedom" meant not being roped into someone else's religious or political crusades.
The American war for independence can be seen as an extended protest against the wars in France...

Or I think what your gut tells you:
* Monarchy
* Zero socialism
* Culture
* Few laws
Cutting red tape and dependency ends most of the problems; you still need a social direction or things fall apart, and only culture can do that.
Then you need to stop the self-manipulation echo chamber feedback loop of democracy, oligarchy, et al.
After that... you have made a new world, simply by cutting out bits from the old.... and cutting out the bloated, parasitic, and dysfunctional bits of the old.

I always liked the seasteading idea, if you could find an area of calm seas.

Meaning occurs in groups as well as in individuals.
Individualists do not agree of course.
People as a group need purpose and direction or you get tragedy of the commons.
Culture is quite important.

Sounds lovely, all of that is illegal where I grew up 😂

@monarchist @freepatriot That's the only asymmetrical way for a small nation to exist. Black mail, that is, having 0% taxes and banks allowing anonymous customers, in the hope of attracting leading western politicians, and then blackmail them, is probably the most realistic way.
The only other way, that can be done as we speak, is the digital nomad, roaming from country to country, while being taxed in no country, or if you're wealthy buy a yacht.
The sci-fi angle might work when we can
