Thanks Sebastian for a very thought out response. But I think you should research the idea of a monopoly on violence, it is well documented by political theorists.
I think it is quite easy for those of us in the west to look at other countries and see how corrupt their entire government/system is, and how their citizens are controlled and enslaved, yet we think we are somehow "clever and classless and free", as Mr Lennon once put it. It's not true, we are still peasants. No amount of "I am different" declarations can change the fact that you are a subject to the powers that be.
However the one thing you can control is how you react to these circumstances and your advocacy for blockchain/crypto is appreciated and effective. We can agree on this much! Cheers.
No doubt the violent monopoly exists. This does not mean we have to accept it. I am free in the sense that I have created my freedom by removing dependancy of government. That is the key. The goverment needs us and not the other way around. We need to remember that. There are alternatives to the system we have and I believe even the blockchain can be a part of that evolution. Blockchain based administrations? Welfare, health and new age education on the chain? Token based futures? No more corporate political parties and old farts in suits. That would be a great start and I think it can be done if the people have the alternative to choose from. That is what is missing. Choices. Create administrative competition and I feel this is already happening.
