I agree that a lot of people are picking up on the post-national trend, and I think that it's a good thing for sure. The less tribalism we have, the more we can cooperate for the public good.

I'd say that the government isn't aware of the postnationalist movement because it's really quite a small group of people overall, and there aren't really any actionable goals or organizational structures that these people have rallied around. If there were post-nationalist groups getting into political advocacy etc, I assume we'd see a strong pushback and propaganda-based reiteration of the good old "American Values" to rile up the proliteriat.

In general, the government doesn't like getting the cold shoulder, and treats its behaviors as always justified. I'd put my money on aggression. After all, they already have JTRIG groups whose purpose is to infiltrate and disrupt political groups.
