Can you provide an example of an island that will be 'left alone'? Right now we have treaties extending the rights of countries to all the land, the seas and up in space. Even in international waters they are removing people who want to seastead there. There's truly nowhere to go because a global government expands itself until it fills the vessel.
- krastanov 5y agoAlaska for example? Get your own power generation and latrine. It does seem you have to pay taxes on owned land though. But living out of an RV seems to get around that. In my country you can be the custodian of a mountain hut (some of them with plenty of amenities). Again there are some minor taxes to pay (not unreasonable given that they provide for the upkeep of the road to the hut), but again, living from an RV gets around that. I guess the RV would require insurance too. So my examples do not fulfill a fundamentalist interpretation of your requirements, but it seems to me it fullfils the most important features (being left 99% alone, with 1% minor inconveniences). As I mentioned, the fact that the government would go after you if you damage the commons (e.g. hunt endangered species) is a feature, not a bug. Does this at least fulfill the spirit of your question?
- cblconfederate 5y agoOf course not. That is not 'exiting' a society, that s isolating yourself while still being burdened by the whole legal system and requirements of the country you are in. Exiting requires that everyone has an opportunity to escape to another, often competing, society, like how Snowden was able to exit to russia
