To the end of his life in 2018, Mong was still promulgating a false binary opposition between cryptoanarchy and dystopia. That sort of mindless Manicheism doesn't fly anymore.

The possibility of a global police-state just doesn't even register any more. Not even for frightening slightly retarded, little children. As some Batshit Crazies are wont. Welcome to the various iterations of global anarchist victory. Veni Vidi Vici.
