Hi,

Thanks for pigeonholing me into a hole of your own choosing.

i support extreme notions of grassroots-up subsidiarity: decentralize and make decisions at the lowest level they can be reasonably made at.

And for better or worse, I accept that the world is currently organized into nation states that make sovereignty claims that the citizens seem to mostly accept.  I might wish for it to be a more fluid bottom-up self-reorganizing set of structures, but that doesn't seem to be the reality I am stuck in.
