One benefit of the seasteading concept is that most people who move to an extreme environment are not looking for handouts or safety nets. Just a thought. Seems like the frontier holds the most liberty. I see your point, and dont have an answer yet, but I'm not willing to concede that it is impossible.

It fell apart because people think power can be used safely. This includes the public. Obviously, crooks make things worse, but their power would be far more limited if people realized that power cannot be used for good without creating bad. The fall seems to me (with the luxury of hindsight) to be inevitable.

What's to stop the leaches now??? Leaches sounds more accurate than sheep. I like to think individualist ideology will lead to fractured societies that will be difficult to unite. Also, does it matter? I'd argue that the founding of the US was a big leap forward even if it has been warped.
No cosponsors. That's at least a good sign, right?

Thanks!
Oh, a fascist! Like for real?
