lol.i just see this as naivety tbh. You don't need some global conspiracy against you, just ordinary geopolitical foes, which there always seem to be in abundance

In this case there was a civil war going on ffs... I think being able to defend yourself militarily (or having someone else who will do it for you) is always a must, but even more so in that specific context.

But we've sorta been over all this before.. you say the nation state has to disappear which means you are talking about a global yet decentralized order manifesting simultaneously...

I think once when we were talking about robots taking over you said "this isn't politics it's science fiction." To me that sci fi scenario is still way more likely, foreseeable, and even relevant than your scenario is.
