Ryan is the man. I hope he's starting to get orange pilled. Going to have to watch this episode to find out.

Individual secession is THE most critical secession. Fracturing of nation states along ethnic lines will bring us closeR to this, but it is not a truely desirable end. Collectivism on any level will (as you stated) suppress individual rights. Look at american indian reservations and how they operate as a "tribe" - they are "sovereign nations". They have an ethnic or tribal identity, but how does that really help them, except to form a victimhood identity and seek aid from the US as a nation, and remind others of past wrongs generations ago? The only meaningful point I see is to preserve social norms, to encourage family and community cohesion through tradition. But they are a formality in the lives of most at this point, not really a useful binding mechanism. The victimhood identity is much more powerful and alive today - from my point of view as a non-american-indian. Granted, the ancestors of them were mostly, exceedingly victimized.. certainly not more so for them than anyone else today. Like black Americans.

You are correct. I think the key is having a choice of collectives. More walls, but more gates. Not "free" choice, but readily possible, and on a small physical scale that doesn't require learning a whole new language and culture just to leave your current collective.

Just get to the point already
