In this YouTube short, Charles Cormier challenges the long‑term relevance of nation‑states. He argues that being born into a country and paying taxes to distant authorities is archaic, especially when citizens share only a small fraction of values with their governments. Cormier warns that massive job loss could destabilize governments and the banking system, which rely on salaries and state funding, and suggests that sovereign or alternative state structures would make more sense in the future.

Do you even think that countries will be a thing in the future? Don't you feel sovereign states make way more sense? And it's just so archaic that we're born into a country and we need to pay taxes to the big man, to someone that we don't even agree with. We do share some values, but not like 95% of values with that person. And I don't see a future in which governments can hold their shit together if 90% of people lose their jobs. And banks, banks fall apart because they depend on salaries and banks are funded by governments. Yeah.
