The most surreal aspect is that an overwhelming majority of people are voluntarist in their daily lives already. So the idea of it should not be shocking or hard to grasp, yet their world turns upside down when it comes to the fundamental coercion of the state.
Within the Bitcoin space the Matrix movie metaphor is often invoked regarding fiat money. But a more appropriate use of the metaphor in my opinion is statism.
"You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."
