It's definitely a way of life more immune to technological tampering, although that way by itself is and was not sufficient to keep us from getting where we are now.
Technology, free and decentralized information, followed by Bitcoin, is what will castrate the nation state, just like the printing press did to the church, and gunpowder to the feudal system.
The extreme measures governments are taking means that they are losing, and will lose.
Nation state governance and patriotism will seem to our descendants just as ridiculous and pointless as self-flagellation and Indulgences do to us modern men.

I used to think that free decentralized information would do this, but I no longer believe this. We've had a lot of free info, and people consume it then figure out what to do with it for their own financial reasons. Greed is the enemy that free info won't fix.

That's the reason I said "whole American society will lose this war". It's about what will be done after the harvesting, not what led us here. A return not only to medieval laws, but to their way of living, mostly in terms of consumption, tolerance, punishment and education method, and at the same time not losing what we have now as technology advance, in my humble opinion, is a secure path to a more civilised society.
