That's exactly what happened if MAGA succeeded.

It blows one's mind to think of how much of an imbecile you'd have to be to sincerely believe that something like that could work!!! |

Every time this silly stuff is put into practice it fails. Galt's Gulch in Panama is another example.
I went to one of these Seasteading events in Austin back around 2015 or so. I recall this was right around the time I was just discovering dialectics and the utopianism inherent in libertarian ideas.
At this conference we played a game where each table came up with sea-stead concept and then presented it to the group. Then we took a vote to see who won (anarchists voting, lol I know). Our group won. The concept was to create a community garden for weed and psychedelic mushrooms, etc so that we could grow "spiritually" and evolve into a being who would live peacefully and cooperatively without authority.
The reasoning was that if we simply move to islands without doing any spiritual work, we most likely will just import the same problems we had living in society to our new context and then things just move in a circle. Hell, it could be dystopian.
This kernel of truth would later blossom for me into a wholesale rejection of the entire anarchist project, as it became obvious that we aren't going to create a new kind of "man," and if our social system requires that of us, it is a bad fit.

Interesting, thanks for sharing that. It is interesting what causes people to shift their worldviews. It's been said that 'oppressive government regulations', especially when dealing with maritime or aviation matters are written in the blood of people who did whatever it is that is being regulated - with fatal results. A recent example is the Ocean Gate guy who decried the Passenger Vessel Safety Act of 1993 as "needlessly prioritiz[ing] passenger safety over commercial innovation". And.....BOOM. Because physics. The only tragedy there is the guy took four people with him. Physics doesn't give a shit about your views on capitalism, regulations, or freedom for that matter, Mr. Rush. Speaking of things at sea, another video from the same guy regarding sea pods: |
