[excerpt from private chat] None of this is going to work. It's simply impossible to maintain individual freedom to not reproduce and modern economies. The only options are social collapse or social change. But: For the citizens to reproduce, the state must offer a genuine long-term deal. The only real strategy is: A small state declares a network citizenship and allows men under 40 in other states to join and claim sole tax residency (i.e. they owe no taxes to any other state - and this is backed up with force - other states, heavy with old people, won’t be able to fight back easily). Taxes payable in crypto. You can bring a woman with you if she’s under 30. That sort of thing. But you can't leave - you owe allegiance for life. You also owe the state the production of 3-5 kids. The legacy welfare states then collapse under their own weight, with the concomitant effects. You'll need automated gun turrets on the border etc etc.
