Alito's draft opinion explicitly criticizes Lawrence v. Texas (legalizing sodomy) and Obergefell v. Hodges (legalizing same-sex marriage). He says that, like abortion, these decisions protect phony rights that are not "deeply rooted in history."

Seasteading is hard and never works out. What makes you think you can defy historic precedent?
It worked for those guys on River Monsters.
You won't have a production company funding your exploits. Reality TV was a mistake. The revolution will not be televised.
Have you seen River Monsters? It's just a guy going fishing in more remote regions around the world. They aren't constructing sea nomad villages for some sort of Survivor-esque challenge - this was a real place that he visited for like 15 minutes of a mid-season episode that primarily took place in Thailand. The goal was to get a first-hand look at the unique fishing techniques and gear they use to harvest needlefish.
You could dunk on me for the silly idea that I could organize something like this and you'd be absolutely right, but this isn't a made up concept. Look up the Bajau, Moken or Tonka peoples for a few examples of stateless groups that have been doing this for generations. Hell, there's evidence that the Bajau people have become genetically adapted to seafaring life, possessing spleens that are on average 50% larger than neighboring, land-based groups. This allows them to spend more time underwater when they freedive, which is their main method of gathering food resources. Think about how many generations they must have been practicing this lifestyle in isolation for... it's interesting stuff.
