A lover of true liberty (a voluntaryist such as me) can only hope for this, right? Ha! But perhaps the trajectory is not as far from fantasy as we all think... enjoy this fun little musing, fellow freedom lovers:
How It Might Go Down
2019:
Government layers of bureaucracy all start attacking each other, as factions of warlords lose all coherency and cohesion on agreeing HOW to 'warlord' over the 'peasantry' of Earth.
2022: The worst and most tyrannical governments dissolve themselves because not one layer of them can agree on HOW to control the sheep anymore, and the hired goons that do all that dirty work (to carry out the BS laws for governments) aren't even getting paid/paid well enough to work for those mafias anyway so they all leave.
2100: "Now children, listen to this story... not that long ago, people used to believe in this outrageous notion... that SOME humans had the RIGHT to rob and violate others-- in order to protect them from violence and robbery. No, really, people legitimately thought that, mostly due to years of episodic fake "news" that they thought were independent 'stations' reporting on 'reality'. Instead of thousands of unique currencies used in thousands of subcultures around the globe, tons of countries were forced to use ONE currency. People were imprisoned for smoking non-fatal flowers that can actually cure a host of ills. And people were chased down by road pirates with the threat of being shot at if they didn't comply... for going some randomly chosen 'wrong speed' on the highway, EVERY SINGLE DAY. People paid for their own right to exist, via an SSN, were extorted into paying for their own RIGHT to drive, via a DL, and even were groped so they could cross imaginary lines no ever drew on the Earth. It was utter chaos and mayhem. Not like the peace we have today where most people have returned to the basic understanding that they personally are responsible for their own actions." the children gasp in awe of the horror
