Episode 3: Envisioning your own future utopia

The gang talks about Russia because everybody thinks they're an expert nowadays. From all of this potential destruction Tom, both Brooke and Tyler, and then Oscar bring up their ideas for future utopias. These styles of governments unlike the word has ever seen and it's about time the world say some new experiments of government crafted for this millenia. They bring up the idea of Net-tax payer voter systems, Digital Democratic Republics, and BDSM republicans where kink-shaming is subject to public flogging... unless your kink happens to be that. This all begs the question of what future utopias you all might hope to see. Ask yourselves the questions we ask ourselves here and you'll be right on your way.

Episode 1: How to start a new country

The gang talks about two key topics, micronations and no-go zones. What makes a micronation, how to make a micronation, should someone make a micronation, as well as where it is better to make one. Benefits of island micronations, mountain micronations, or ruins of 3rd world countries. Discusses balancing remoteness with survivability and dealing with the complexities of geopolitics. Dive into the quest for additional freedoms and liberties and compare many of these micronations (Glacier Republic, Republic of Molossia, Ruritania, Asgardia, Other World Kingdom, Republic of Minerva, New Utopia, and many others) with the giants of Transnistria and other partially recognized states such as Taiwan, Palestine, and Kurdistan. What would you do for food? How would you gather water? What terrain would you strive for? What would your rule of law or doctrine be? How would you attract citizens and eventually be recognized? Would you strive to manipulate people that do yoga that have a proclivity for firearms to join your cult of a micronation? Would your main export be something unconventional to help make your mark and stand out to the global market? Later debates the concept and practice of no-go zones. How do these dangerous or marginalized neighborhoods allow themselves to get away with their own rules of law that others are made to follow? Is a no-go zone better than a micronation? What are the benefits of one over the other? If your quest was to make your breakaway state sovereign, claim land for your home country, establish a new State, or whatever else, how would you do it and would you do one before the other? Discuss how this was used for Chaz (Chop) in Seattle and places like Detroit as well as Jewish or Amish neighborhoods where it is a marginalized group. Come as we make light of it all, be the devil's advocate, and have one of these friendly fireside chats.
