Nations are quite simply incompatible with the internet.
Like Catholicism after the printing press, or Monarchy after the death of God, they can never again be more than shells of their former selves.
This is inevitable, but..
The urge to resist this new reality could cause untold suffering, like the 30-Years War after the printing press, and the World Wars after the death of God.
Is this avoidable? Can we forge a new order in peace? Or must the old literally die first?
