Okay, it's July 14 and because it's Bastille Day everyone decided to talk about building new countries which is what we talk about every day but this time the seasteaders and the accelerationists just went for it. fight club!!

and the seasteaders are like, ok, let's revive european maritime law rooted in some obscure renaissance juridical system but the accelerationists are just like...let's do fight club. meanwhile i have a perfect eye backed by judgement, and i'm effective, on top of being altruistically minded. as one must be if one is to wield a total monopoly on violence every 28 days, which I do and no one ever asks my opinion. Whatever. It's always the same fantasy. No taxes, no ugly people, no regulation...Pell Grant loan forgiveness on a homestead with a lowered age of consent. Relaxed gun laws... but every firearm purchase auto-registers you for jury duty... wipe out the regions entire medical debt in return for exclusive rights to run unlabeled trials on locals...Cure for aging is fully subsidized and available to everyone — but the city has a fixed headcount, so to receive a dose you must first nominate a living person to be decapitated or like thrown into an active volcano by a swarm of Waymodrones.
