I may or may not have been blaring that in traffic in my car.
So will part 3 deal with the aftermath? and have you done any further pondering upon the bond based system? Would it be viable to start implementing it on a smaller scale in order to get a running alternative system set up? And will all the government hardware go to computer hell ? (/s on the last question).
You'll have to give me a while to respond to that properly.
Longstory short. People should be a lot more white-pilled than they are. I believe that the 21st century is actually when Liberalism is actually going to emerge naturally among human populations, as 17th century Liberalism was a strange almost England specific fluke of history and geography. Human Commodification had been the norm, and Liberalism was a strange blowback to that which happened to occur in the three places where it could thrive almost uncontested: Britain, France, and the US.
The Era of Human Commodification is coming to an end, and decentralizes Liberal-Like and Republican systems are going to emerge over the coming century which corresponds to the continuing rise of decentralized firepower, with little corresponding rise in defensive technology. AI, drones, anti-ship missiles, miniaturization of railguns, it's all going away from centralized control.
We can expect Regionalism and geographically disparate wars to start taking place. It will not be impossible to see something like a war between Poland and India take place across 3 continents and 15 countries. Due to Geographic, Political, Economic, and Cultural advantages, we are likely to get yet another American century, if the Canadians keep fucking up and don't take it for themselves due to their incredible advantages. India and Russia are likely to do better this century, but they've got innumerable problems. China is far worse off than anyone realizes, and I don't think a Civil War is impossible.
Genuinely Libertarian systems like what I've mentioned may emerge, but it's hard to get them running since there isn't a lot of bedrock to build them up from. I wouldn't be surprised if we found genuine Libertarian governments emerge at least within the US and in a handful of other places scattered around the globe. More likely we will see a kind of managed Liberalism and very vague re-drawing of borders between governmental territory. Don't be surprised if there are a few international unification and separatist movements where small countries may merge or separate from or to larger ones, or that several countries might form some kind of protectionist block.

Europe? Do see any chance for northern Europe (where the infection is quite deep)?
You're not thinking broad enough for Regionalism. I mean regionalism as in: India, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Paraguay, and Switzerland have an economic alliance. Regional coalitions internationally; but I think "devolution" of federal governments into more republican systems may also happen in parts of Europe.
Oh, you mean my anthem?
No, it was just less pertinent to my point.

And no worries about taking time to respond.
