Exactly. The left can see that USG is the enemy when it is setting fire to Muslim lands. The right can see that USG is the enemy when it is fining, taxing, regulating volitional behavior internally. Both can see USG as the enemy when it is doing the bidding of Hollywood and the RIAA, attacking the internet via SOPA, or bailing out Wall Street.
The job for hackers now is to develop alternatives to allow people to exit USG's sphere of influence. Whether that means emigration to other countries, or longer term projects like SpaceX and seasteading is a tactical matter. But first we need to realize that this government and its enthusiastic enforcers (including especially many of the lawyers and apologists who have brought dishonor upon themselves in these recent Swartz threads) are the problem and the source of much of the world's woes.
We might live in the US, we might live in one of USG's many colonies around the world, but this government is no longer responsive to the people and it does not deserve our custom. It's time to find alternatives.
