I always question when someone advocates rejecting the authority of a body of law overseeing their behavior. Why do they want to be able to do what they want to do? What do they want to do?
I know this is wildly unpopular in some circles, but the world isn't the same world it was only a hundred or so years ago.
I think we are in a crucial position now. We can find a way to live in a fluid world-culture that offers peace and cooperation or we can return to the Medieval times when we huddled separately in our dark caves.
Every separating action bears potentially massive losses.
I don't know enough about this to speak knowledgeably - but it feels scary.

@Mamapolo2016 Even in the Mediaeval era, a mainly-European context, no-one lived in that level of isolated anarchy; and many parts of the world were under the authority of religious ideologies as well as individual state-level governance and legislatures.
Most countries were not isolated either. Apart from occasional territorial or ideological (usually religious or simple power-hunger) wars they traded with each other to a considerable degree, and with that cam many cultural exchanges.
Yes we can all hope for a peaceful, co-operative world - and surprisingly the world as a whole has for a long time now been a lot more free of wars than it was in the past - but human nature being what it is, peaceful and cop-operative on what terms, given or imposed by whom?
