I believe he likens it to BLM Riots:Jan 6 every day, type of dystopia.

He is super bullish on Estonia, IIRC.

That's how I interpret his statements, at least. He goes into more detail in his book The Network State, but essentially says America is descending and the future will be the Anarchistic West vs Communist China. He advocates exiting most systems into a "cloud country" which would ultimately manifest in the real world (aggregate online over similar values, purchase physical land, etc)
