You're touching on a lot of stuff that I've been giving a lot of thought to recently, as I think a lot of Bitcoiners should be doing. The most important part, that you left open at the end of your note there which was a nice touch, is to overcome one's conditioning to think of one's self as a citizen of a nation. Everyone around the world is force-fed propaganda from birth about the greatness of "their" nation, and just sort of sleepwalk through their whole lives without questioning it in the slightest. Even as someone with a Canadian passport, I can admit to having drunk the koolaid in my impressionable youth. That said, I also have to admit that it's a lot easier to break free of said conditioning when you grow up in a colony without any strong culture, as opposed to a power centre at the heart of a dominant empire. I also haven't lived there in 10+ years which is another factor that works against the average person; hard to break free when you're surrounded and saturated with a perspective that presents itself as both de facto reality and destiny.

Once you get past that though, there are still many major problems that need to be sorted out, for example I don't agree that anything meaningfully revolutionary can be achieved online except what were doing here, which is just the very basic of preambles of theory. But in any case, you have to start somewhere, and like I said, getting in the headspace of being free of dependence from the concept of "the state" or "the nation" is a very important first step.
