I can't speak for michaelochurch, but I have been reading his comments for the last while. I think his point is that the root problem of Silicon Valley isn't the sexism, ageism, groupthink, etc - those are just symptoms of a larger core systemic problem.
By putting all the power and attention on a few extremely wealthy key funding players (aka VCs) the cultural distortion is all but inevitable.
Picking up and setting up shop elsewhere is in the long run pointless if we're just going to mint a few new extremely wealthy VCs and continue to cycle.

The real difficulty is setting up the right context. (Culture that attracts creatives, high quality educational institutions with enlightened attitudes about IP, presence of capital.) hence the need for the "resources of a state."
