Why are Chinese people still trying to get their capital (and themselves) out of China? Where are they going? The West.
Sure individual freedoms are much greater in the west but in the contest of empires that is less important than overall capacity to project power.
You make the classic westerners error of perception, thinking that individual freedoms are more important and valuable than collective strength.
We forget after our 500 years of global domination that individual 'rights' and freedoms are largely only possible from a position of collective strength.
Suffer 100 years of subjugation and humiliation and you may change your perspective.

Just being realistic.
Am not here for the Libertarian circle jerking echo chamber - but rather to raise and explore challenging ideas.
If you can't handle it and have to respond by trying to shoot the messenger that's your fear and your problem, not mine.
If you cannot respond to the issues raised am really not interested in inane personal attacks, scapegoating and gaslighting avoidance of the issues.

Sorry to inform you, but when you use Bitcoin, that makes you an active participant in THE libertarian circle jerking echo chamber. Unless you plan to donate your BTC to the state, you've tacitly surrendered to libertarian economic philosophy by placing your own wealth outside the reach of collectivism.
