079: Decentralization is Inevitable & Brave New War by Robb

Talk Back to Me

It is not enough that we hold on to our liberty with fingers stressed tight through dedication, while doubt troubles our minds to the values and virtues of our cause. It is not enough that we merely hold onto the means of our liberty, while casting aspersions on the reasons why we hold these truths to be self evident.

In is book " Brave New War," John Robb argues that, in some sense, decentralization is inevitable when it comes to the nation-state. Fragile, slow, and bureaucratic centralized authorities are too slow to face threats informed by open source warfare and decentralized movements. 

Since the book was published, we've seen this play out in real time, with the "summer of love" and following changes in the socio-political landscape. But from our perspective, instead of learning, the powers centralized in letter-agencies have chosen, instead, to pursue more invasive forms of control in conjunction with increasing use of social pressure to achieve compliance. 

But if Robb's assessment proves correct, they are losing, and the evidence is in the people.
