I only recently heard the term, too. At first blush, I'm like: Yay! An end to nation-states! But of course, that's not what they mean. I think they mean something closer to, "We are bound together by nothing but coercion."

Maybe we can co-opt the term?

One-hundred percent agree. When you hear politicians use any term that sounds freedom-y, and then you realize the politician is a devout authoritarian (*cough* Blackface Trudeau *cough*), it becomes obvious they don't mean what we freedom-advocates mean.

Sure, let's redefine their term and muddy the waters on 'em 🤣

Maybe one day we can even get past post-nationalism too.
