It's... like you're repeating exactly the objection I mentioned and not addressing the core problem with it. Oh no, that is what you just did. Ok then, carry o

  Yes, I'm arguing that these rules and regulations are the core problem.

    you cant have your cake and eat it. you cant just opt out of regulation and not all the other things. you would litterally have to start your own nation from scratch.

      Do you think people like Rosa Parks should have started their own nation? [0] What an incredibly frightening way of thinking. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Parks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Parks

        Rosa Park fought to get equal rights. You want to have privileges. The fact that you don't see that is the only frightening thinking here.

          What we want is the right to be left alone. It's a form of nonviolent resistance.

            Wanting to be left alone is exactly a privilege.

        Why do so many libertarian dudes suddenly all want to be Rosa Parks? And how did they miss the part where she was arrested and convicted, as part of a coordinated activist effort to change specific laws? She didn't just break the law and expect there to be no consequences. That's not how non-violence resistance works.

      True. But it's not in meatspace. It's primarily online. And it's not really a nation. Voluntary associations only. What you don't get is the ability to fight wars in meatspace. But long term, that's not such a bad thing. You'd need to focus on asymmetric cyber warfare. Maybe drone armies, if it came to that.

        It doesn't matter whether it's online. If you want to be able to use it in meatspace for meatspace things then it will be regulated.
