In other words:
"I've given up, I want you to give up too to sooth my ego. Cause you know, it's logical and stuff. AND IT DOESN"T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY EMOTIONS!!!!"
Anyway, I am here in Colorado right now. I can tell you it is nice here. Can't say we have lot's of freedom, but since New Yorkers, Californians and even Texans are all moving here because they hate their home states I can imagine those other places are worse. I've only met one person from New Hampshire though. She said she was going back.
No, in other words lots of FSP members are deceitful about what can realistically be expected from the FSP, and I don't agree with them misleading other libertarians.
If they say :
"Move to NH, its one of the freest states in america, you get to spend time with other libertarians, and who knows, maybe in a few years we can help push through cannabis decrim, and stop other bullshit laws getting passed"
Then I have absolutely no problem with that.
The ones saying:
FSP IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR TOTAL LIBERTY! IF YOU ARENT MOVING TO NEW HAMPSHIRE YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME!
are being highly disingenuous, especially when most of the "evidence" used to show how NH might become freer amounts to a bunch of half assed hypothetical "What if?/you don't know/who knows what will happen in the future/it might work!/what else has a chance?", and all the actual hard facts show that in total pretty much every US state is becoming less free.
Draw yourself a graph of freedoms in NH, and America in general over the last 100 years. That's one hell of a downward trend.
Do things ever suddenly change for the better? Sometimes, but trends are trends for a reason, I don't plan to live my life based on the expectation of a really really long shot. Based on the current rate of government growth, NH is very likely to be less free 10 years from now than it is now, much like most other places in the world.
Does this mean no one should do anything for freedom? Of course not. I've never said people should under no circumstance move to NH. What I have said is that people shouldn't move with the (unrealistic) expectation that they will achieve any sort of "libertopia", and people definitely shouldn't be misleading other libertarians to believe these things.
