RE: Draconian Japan: New Legislation Makes Nearly Anyone a "Terrorist."
That seems pretty intense. I am allways afraid that states turn to totalitarian regimes. I understand the push for control in these troubled times. Have fun out there and good luck with future posts!
The funny thing is though, to me, they are the ones creating "these troubled times." Without the oppressive state, most of the "troubled times" would be a lot less troublesome.
I do appreciate your comment, though, and you too!
It's a business model. Problem - Reaction - Solution = Profit. Works best if you create the problem, instigate the reaction, and have a solution in mind prior to starting.
The age of Nation-States is coming to an end. Considering how dangerous they have proven to be, it can't happen soon enough.
Recently the development of Liquid Democracy platforms have been being adopted in the EU as test cases. Of course we are all aware of blockchain, and the indelible record of public discourse Steemit is. Combine Liquid Democracy and Steemit, and you have a new form of governance that is entirely voluntary. The cryptocurrency feature of Steemit enables funding governmental services without taxation, through smart contracts which also preclude corruption.
No lobbyists, no power brokers (representatives) that can sell your sovereignty, and no coercion.
It's almost complete, and it's so native to the technology that we hardly noticed it. Given the possibility of viral adoption rates, I can see such replacing geopolitical nation-states in as short a time as it took for Facebook to overtake Myspace.
Lotsa details yet, such as how to recover funds from contractors that fail to produce, or how to prosecute crime, etc..., but I expect those problems will be solved organically as they are faced.
Keep calm and Steem on!
