How many times does Chase have to say what they are before people stop banking with them? At least the people they are likely to target ie anyone conservative. They don't want your money. Don't put it there. For now, at least, there are options.
This is the uncomfortable truth with those wanting to cut themselves off from the grid and the state. Beside international waters and Antarctica, subject to international treaties, every bit of land on Earth has an owner, either private or the state. At some point you are going to have to engage in the financial and banking system and/or engage with a state that wants its taxes due. It has been the case for a millennium, which is why the Domesday Book was a thing.
The only example I have known to be anywhere near a success is the Principality of Sealand and even then, you'll still see protest from the UK Government over its existence. Even pirate radio stations broadcasting in international waters to the UK and Netherlands didn't stop them being in reach of the law. Someone had to supply them with drinking water and food.
