If we assume the worst, hopefully the bridge to nowhere that is being built in Panama is an indication that there is still time & that #Bitcoin & #keet & #nostr may ultimately foil all govt plans.
Really disconcerting, but probably important to consider

Curtis Yarvin / Mencius Moldbug describes a 'natural pattern' of authority
I can't find the source article at the moment so I'm paraphrasing
But basically as I understand it, he claims that a tribalistic, local-strongman-slash-elder model of authority is always tending to re-emerge.
I don't necessarily agree on the specifics of what the natural order is, but I think the breakdown of fiat and breakup of mega-states will allow other forms of order to flourish
