Replying to Avatar asyncmind

So apparently, I’m now a citizen of nowhere. India won’t have me back—probably too many Git commits that look “seditious.” Australia’s looking at me like, “mate, we said skilled migrant, not skilled shitposter.” And suddenly I’m googling how to apply for a passport from Kailasa—you know, the make-believe Hindu Vatican run by a godman who fled tax evasion but still takes PayPal.

Meanwhile, Balaji’s island dream is out there—“crypto-Disneyland meets Ayn Rand wet dream”—where every coconut has a QR code and your hammock rent is settled on-chain. Sounds like paradise, until you remember it’s just American escapism with Big Brother doing KYC at the border and selling your metadata to Lockheed Martin.

So here I am: an Aussie-Indian programmer, floating in limbo. My choices?

Kailasa: A nation so fake it makes Minecraft servers look sovereign.

Australia: Where they’re happy to have my taxes, but not my existence once I say “Bitcoin” louder than “mate.”

India: Where the bureaucracy thinks Stack Overflow is a terrorist organization.

Balaji Island: A floating whitepaper, backed by billionaires and powered by vibes.

And let’s not forget the current global trend: supremacist hate is the new avocado toast. Every country’s got its own flavour: white supremacy, brown supremacy, saffron supremacy. Everybody’s hating everybody, but hey, at least they’re all agreeing on one thing: programmers don’t belong anywhere.

So yeah, I’ll be the first passport-holding citizen of /dev/null. National anthem? Just the sound of rm -rf / echoing in the void. Flag? ASCII art. Currency? My GitHub stars.

At least it’ll be honest.

For some reason your story reminded me of this movie...
