> many many people desperatly want some kind of mad max unhinged reality

I'm not sure that's true.

In any event, historically that might be the French Foreign Legion.

> historically that might be the French Foreign Legion.

Today it's the nutters who join ISIS. (The Foreign Legion required discipline.)

Isn’t that a bit too much like Brave New World?

no, it's just a minor modification of what we are actualy doing, and it's a suggestion that we accept humanity as it is, and stop trying to export our contradictions the statistics are clear, we have lost our way, life span is falling, inequity is becoming stark, etc the question is ,can actualy comunicate about what is happening? or not I know the answer is, no, we cant comunicate and that there is a widespead notion that bieng exposed to anything that even makes ....some... uncomfortable....must be banned.,,..or something like that....more permanent.....and secure.... to which, I wish good luck with that.....

Your ideas sound a lot like those of the APPD, the Anarchist Pogo Party of Germany: They advocate to "balkanize" Germany into three zones:

- Asozial Parasite Zone: For lazy punks who don't like to work

- Safe Business Zone: For hard working people who really like work

- Violence Experience Parks: For Nazis and other violent folks (like your Mad Max enthusiasts)

Not really fair to the kids whose parents are against seat belts (just as one example).

TL;DR you are basically just asking for a real version of "The Purge", while neglecting the inherent inequalities between those with resources and those without, and you contradict yourself later making this post of yours entirely incoherent, and a waste of time reading.

Thoughts unshackled from objective reality trend towards delusion. People haven't survived by ignoring the reality of things.
