you're historically wrong.

monasteries were financialy independent. when the "government changed" and the new rulers had no use for the church, all of them were raided and plundered.

it's very dangerous to have resources and not be politically positioned. you become a target more than a fortress. it's the one thing preppers don't get.

universities are facing the same problem as monasteries faced. they are huge bags of money already. excluding the UCs they are already rich and take government money more for the associations than the actual money.

nobody claimed absolute immunity from everything that the government does anywhere. enjoy beating up your strawman.
