A majority vote in Congress, Trump’s signature (and a state’s willingness to part with territory) can create a new independent nation, or two, or two hundred.

And that line about people living by whatever rules they so please sounds like a nice way to describe a state of anarchy...

free from governmental overreach

In general government overreach is directly proportional to population density. The closer people live together, the more rules and government enforcement is required to make it work. Densely populated islands are for libtards, not freedom lovers.

I wonder if the Philippines will ever realize they were better off under us than independent?

I’d like to live, on the sea. In an octopus’s garden with you.

I was wondering, if you have to be liberal, to be allowed to live on the island?

Will it be a communist paradise? There will be no government? Marx said the state would wither away, no need for a government, under pure communism.

The apologists for the excesses of people such as Stalin and chairman Mao, often were that they were in a transition to communism, but their countries had not yet achieved pure communism.

“Than along comes some pirates. They invade these floating habitats. They kick ass and plunder the goods.

Utopia dies. End of story.”

I think they forgot that part.

Someone needs to rent this entire bunch a copy of ‘Waterworld” and make them watch it about 13 times-—back to back to back to.......

“Other goals include: housing refugees who are displaced as climate change gives rise to higher sea levels, enriching the poor, curing the sick, feeding the hungry, living in balance with nature, and powering the world.”

What about eternal life??

And some of those pirates will be soldiers from governments who want control of those Utopian assets.

I’m sure they’ll escrow the guns for building it as they peddle their crypto, so everything is above-board, right?

People will never live in harmony. We are just too gamey.

Answer: yes. Because absolutely everything is subject to PC hypersensitivity and hysteria these days.

But no worries, there will be LGBTQXYZ islands, hook-up islands, immigrant islands, jihad islands and islands to go have your baby killed. It’ll be a freaking Utopia!

So once they fulfill all the liberal-world wishy-washy fantasies, what will be left for them to do or complain about?
