RE: PSA: This FUD cycle on SB1241 is over-hyped, take political action and then BUY!
If you want a bloodless revolution, you pay them a small fixed percentage not to fight you in the first place. Then you build a better system and pay them to go away altogether.
HOWEVER, a lot of people want better representation through technology, NOT an absolute removal of delegated power altogether. That's how you get a power vacuum where authoritarianism can take root. Arguably that's happening already to some extent.
A lot of bitcoin investors see the state as non-essential, but that's just not reality. They currently hold a monopoly on violence and all crypto is ultimately valued in dollars, which they have absolute authority to seize.
I see near-direct democracy with delegated committees and automated public budgets as the future. To get there you can't just act like a subversive absolutionist all the time. You have to start laying out the scaffolding to the next governance paradigm, and working with congress now is simply to prevent them from burning down the foundations of the next paradigm.
I want to remove government that exists by force. If people want to create a voluntary government - like an HOA - I don't see anything wrong with that.
That's a dangerous assertion for you to make, and for everyone living in the US. It is also the more expensive option in the long run.
I just reread my comment and you probably reread it wrong. I didn't mean I want to use force, I want to remove governments that rule by force (pretty much all current ones). I don't think that necessarily requires force, just a better monetary system that replaces their's to make their power structure collapse.
