Pro Tip!

If you start a business and can't follow basic fucking federal laws, you shouldn't be allowed to work at a business. Federal laws help fund roads, education, utilities, and protect workers and the environment.

So which one of these do they not want to follow?

And how many gold jets will it take for them to get their way?

The places they are looking for exist, it's just called another fucking country.

We're the United (but separated into factions of slave towns and gulags) States of America.

Remember how they kept on trying to scare people the Democrats wanted to build a 15 minute cities?

This is that exactly but now with more tech Bros and less rules. Let the corporate techno Neo feudalism commence. You will all own nothing and be happy for the privilege of renting it.

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.'
'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.'
'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.'

These are the final end states of Curtis Yarvin's batshit insane technofeudalist ramblings. They are trying to destroy the United States of America and instead of god-kings unilaterally own these feudalist cities.

I give you... Rapture!

Isn't this literally the start of cyberpunk 2077?

i.e. Slave Cities.

I can’t decide between sweatshop 12 or gulag 6.

There's more of that crazy Curtis Yarvin bullshit.

Also, I encourage people to read The Sovereign Individual, which also seems relevant.

There is some serious irony here since the party of "states rights" (but no, not THOSE rights!) is all-in on Taco directing invasions on states, especially the cities within those states....

Serfdom City

Inb4 the US ends up with Samsung/Huawei style Company Towns, buying everything at the only store with company scrip - but it's all branded as 'freedom cities' and celebrated by Libertarians.

This will never get off the ground. It requires government money and cooperation. Two things libertarian chuds hate.

They want the government to willingly giving up its sovereignty over the land.

Has that ever happened before, outside of treaties?

This seems to be the physical manifestation of the the Wilhoit's Constant:

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

It sounds like these proposed entire cities would protect, but not bind the residents, while those outside would not be protected from the results of the city, but certainly be bound against doing anything about it.

If you're gonna do it, can you please do it right and make it at the bottom of the ocean?

like the liberterian towns, that failed because they though they dont need to pay for any public services.
