And governments have all reason to believe that when people try hiding money streams from them it is for something illegal like tax evasion, money laundering, etc.
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't like to live in a world with even more powerful criminal forces.
- mirimir 9y agoAs I see it, the most powerful criminals control governments. And then they get to define whatever they don't like as criminal. The game is rigged. But fighting is pointless. It's better to just walk away.
- legulere 9y agoThe problem with no- or low-state solutions is that you remove accountability to the people that you even have in places like China.
- mirimir 9y agoI don't see a lot of "accountability to the people" anywhere. Just bullshit, propaganda and exploitation. The truly wealthy own everything, and the rest of us are pawns at best. It's been that way for thousands of years. I see the Internet as the best shot for transforming that. Because it can empower individuals, permit free and private association, create space for people to be free of coercion, and so on. Time will tell.
