I used to mine on azure free trial servers, I wonder if you can still get away with it. Or maybe with the Oracle always free tier machines.

The whole premise behind their prediction of nation states failing is that modern tech and the cyber-economy make it much easier for entities to protect themselves from extortion. So if one country is unleashing killer robots like you say, or forcing ridiculous taxes and ideology down peoples throat, or banning certain technologies, then thanks to those same technologies and others, entities can leave for a place that treats them better with minimal disruption to their livelihood if they are truly an intelligent sovereign individual.
Dr. Daniel Kim touched on that in the monero redpill video, saying that if countries start banning Monero, it will incentivize sovereign individuals to move to other countries which are monero friendly. That's the reality now where you can just get up an go where you're treated best. I know that a lot of Americans are moving to Latin America because while the governments there are corrupt, they are much less overbearing and able to extend control/influence over their population. And some countries, like El Salvador, are beginning to catch on and are trying to be tech friendly and attractive to digital nomads. I think this trend will continue, especially if covid-esque events live climate lockdowns will be a thing now, and certain countries are able to disregard these event and allow their populations to live normally. The cyber economy enables people to earn their money location independently which is a massive megapolotical force that hasn't been seen before and will continue to have huge implications, which according to the authors of sovereign individual, include the fall of nation states as a relevant concept.
Look at the berlin wall example used in the book, how people were literally trapped inside a territory by an overbearing government, only for the government to crumble and fail, their wall ultimately useless.

More good stuff to come, such as the discussion on neo-luddites.

I've got a rough version of Monero Place BBS (https://monero.place) online now. So far It's got:
-access via SSH, Telnet, and the web
-topic specific messageboards & conference rooms
-inter-bbs live chat
-terminal games via DoorParty

I'm also working on including rooms for Monero price-feeds, adoption statistics, bridges to other BBSes, file upload & download, and commissioning new Monero-themed art for the BBS. Also hoping to make a text/ANSI based, Monero-themed game in the future.

>Monero threads have become infected with coomers who will willingly give XMR to a woman.
Holy shit, this is bearish.

Final Monero-chan ansi piece was finished by Zeus II. Turned out great. He said he'd do a few more pieces for me. Any ideas for Monero-themed menu screens or the like? They've gotta be low detail since it's 80x25
