Ok, but scale that up and try to account for bad actors. Human nature isn't going to change, and so the are guaranteed to be people working to abuse the system. "The community will enforce" is just handwaving away the problem without actually dealing with it, just as much as bullshit like "the free market will solve x problem" is.

For single player games, I absolutely agree. If you're going to stop supporting the game, send out one last patch turning off any always online DRM and let people keep playing their game.
For multiplayer games, it seems like it's a bit more complicated. Who should be shouldering the cost to keep the game servers alive?
If that's how it works, then a stable anarchist society is impossible. The first asshole that comes along with a bigger gun than everyone else will have it right back to a dictatorship.
Who has authority to enforce those rules? If no one, then how do you resolve disputes in a civil, yet binding fashion?
Never understood the thought process behind these sovereign citizens. Let's say you accept the initial premise that they are their own country not subject to Canadian laws... aaaand you've been conquered. And are now subject to Canadian laws.
I did a similar diagonal route across Canada. 84 hours it says.
23 hours is about as high as you are going to get while maintaining a (relatively) straight path. The north is not really accessible by road.
Edit: I take that back. I managed to get up to 27 hours driving from the Ambassador Bridge to Windigo Lake.
One example does not prove a trend.
Plus, I'm just talking about perception, not the reality of the actual political leanings of every single Carhartt customer.
Wait, Carhartt is a stereotype of the left wing now? I've always associated it with very blue collar, outdoors type work. The kinds of jobs that you wouldn't typically associate with left wing extremism.
Well yeah. That's why there's any legal punishment at all. Being bad at your job otherwise would just get you fired.
I'm not arguing the merit of the law itself, I'm just saying that doing something that you know to be against the law is inherently going to generally get you a harsher punishment than causing harm via negligence.
That has never been, and will never be true. You could magically eliminate all weapons on the planet simultaneously and it still won't be true, since some people are bigger and stronger than others.
And in case you haven't been paying attention to history; authoritarians very rarely just show up out of nowhere and take over. They are usually installed as leader after some form of revolution, then the title just gets transferred once the authoritarian system is in place. It's usually far more insidious than just some guy the village has to band together to fight off.
