I know it never could or would work, but every so often I wish there was some imaginary huge tract of land that nobody had owned before…and I guess somehow didn’t affect the environment for all the assholes that want to play power games or pretend they could rule the world or just live lawlessly so they could be silo’ed off from society. Of course it would fall apart, innocent people would somehow end up in there. They’d probably end up attacking the rest of the world and I’m sure a myriad of other terrible problems. But man that’d be nice.
Sorry, you’re born too late. You would have loved 19th century colonialism. As long as you could get over the “uninhabited” part of course.
Everybody is assuming I want to take part in this. I want an imaginary zone for all the assholes to go to…
This is it 👍
Ive had similar thoughts about racially pure islands. Everyone’s happy. The race-supremacy people get to live among their own and the rest of us are free from their bullshit.
Since they’re racists they soon would find other random properties to segregate.
But then the children will have to be raised by racists
Even more adventurous and lawless and dangerous in earlier centuries.
As long as you could get over the “uninhabited” part of course.
They sure did back then, easy as pie.
And some very influential people want that era back. Incl. trampling on people already living there. [Techbroligarch “Freedom” Cities]
That’s just called the USA
Nah but I’m stuck here., womp womp. I want a place people voluntarily go into. This is not based in reality lol. As I’ve gotten older and learned more about history, I realized what a cursed nation we are though…
As soon as people start having kids, you’re back to square one
You should watch Westworld! It’s basically what you describe.
The ‘freedom’ they want only extends to having the freedom to do what they want regardless of how it impacts anybody else.
The vast majority of these people don’t want isolation. They need other people to exploit. Edit - or they want the freedom to exploit other natural resources (no doubt they see humans as a natural resource to be exploited) regardless of the impacts on other people, now or in the future.
What a bunch of selfish twats!
Have you heard about what happened when libertarians took over Grafton, NH?
Ha that was a fascinating read. I guess bears are libertarian as well!
Yes. Somalia has 1,900 miles of coastline, a government that knows its place, and all the guns and wives you can afford to buy. Why have I never heard of this paradise before?

Society used to exile people, send them to penal colonies or some people that felt ostracized packed up and left Society. Where? To some of the grea open uninhabited or not so habitatated lands. Taking U.S.A. as an example, there where religious extremists who became unwelcome in Britain, so they left to a place they could practice thier beliefs without competition, America.
Every Society worked better because you didn’t need to imprison or kill people that where criminals and people that where ostracized somewhat had the option of making thier own land. Now every single piece of land is claimed there is nowhere to exile people and no where to just run to.
And see how that worked out
There is still Antarctica
Fair, can we start a Make Antarctica Great Agian and encourage some people to move to a “greener” pasture?
I thought you said Autozone and I was excited that someone else was also enthusiastic about a do-it-yourself auto repair shop
Fuck it, I’ll take an autonomous AutoZone!
That sounds like you want to deport people
Honestly I’m more wishing the opposite was possible. Imagine a utopia to test out, UBI, communism etc… somewhere that capitalists aren’t going to sabatoge and declare war on it while it’s in it’s infancy.
Danish countries.
And…huh, it works.
I guess by “Danish countries” you mean scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland)? Then i regrettably have to inform you, that they are just slightly less horrendously capitalistic. Compared to the USA they probably seem like star trek though, so i get the sentiment.
How about a boat in international waters?
Westworld explored that idea. It doesn’t end well.
I’m not saying it would end well, in fact I know it would be a disaster lol. I stopped watching Westworld after two seasons and was trying to come up with a joke about how it doesn’t end well…it jumped the shark or some corny joke ha. Anyway did the show actually have a conclusion and is it worth watching to the end?
It ended up on a cliffhanger. If season 2 made you give up then the rest will likely not be your cup of tea either.
That was essentially why the US was founded.
But alas we were also assholes the whole time…
So… a libertarian Micronation ??
But even less based in reality!
I unironically want this for everyone. You want to help give communism another shot? Welcome to our home, comrade. You think the DOT, DOE, and FDA are infringing on your rights? Freedom is just a plane ride away. You dream of theocracy? Your wish is granted, by his hand. A streamlined process for balanced legal migration would also be great.
