I don't get the antagonism.
Well, in a democratic society with the rule of law most laws are, at least in theory, supported and agreed on by most of the population.
When someone says they want to be free of the rule of national law that might mean they want to violate a law that I generally support. Maybe they want to provide untracable anonymous phone numbers to robo-calling telemarketers, or tax avoidance services to shady billionaires, or subpoena-proof corporate records for companies running unsafe chemical plants.
That has the potential to be antagonizing - although the potential is not yet realized.
