I thought you were trying to avoid discussions which confuse governance
of the infrastructure with governance of the content.

Then it is up to you (and those of a like mind) to "vote with your
feet" and subscribe to websites run from different jurisdictions. And
if you don't think they exist, it's not the Internet infrastructure

If your response to cross border issues I bring up is to advice cutting
back to an Internet (or Internets) that fits jurisdictional boundaries,
it is indeed an internally coherent solution. However, I still think
that it is possible to preserve a global Internet if we can muster
enough political will and courage to develop the necessary global
political system.<br>
