FSP IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR TOTAL LIBERTY! IF YOU ARENT MOVING TO NEW HAMPSHIRE YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME!
You are saying that the chances of liberty are hopeless everywhere. We are saying it is hopeless everywhere except where you see a bunch of people gathered together to fight for it.
I never once brought up the word "hopeless".
Personally I think the Seasteading institute has the most realistic opportunity of getting "liberty in our lifetimes", and hope to get involved with it as soon as possible.
I think FSP NH is a good idea, so long as people moving are not being mislead about what to expect. Slow down the rate at which things get worse? Definitely a realistic goal for the FSP. Decriminalize Cannabis? Also an admirable goal.
Getting yourself thrown in jail and hoping the government to give up as a result is not a realistic expectation, its a waste of time. Even if by some miracle NH started getting freer, increases in Federal Government would most likely negate any progress made.
Obama to raise taxes to pay for "public healthcare", not to mention the amount of money thats being pissed away on "financial stimulus", or that Obama has stated he wants to make the Assault Weapons ban permanent.
You saying that I'm in favor of "hopelessness" is exactly the polemic bullshit I've come to expect from NH FSP supporters. Everything has to be some big fucking hero act.
NH is the only hope, everything else is a waste of time, there's no chance anywhere else etc etc.
Anyone who doesn't think NH is the holy fucking grail cannot possibly have a viable alternative, their either lazy, deluded or wants people to give up, because the FSP is
so important and its going to achieve so much.
All this is based purely on supposition. NH is not the freest place in the world, and theres little to no evidence to suggest it is likely to become the freest place in the world. Just because you want it to be so, doesn't make it so. The entire emphasis in the NH lib movement seems to be on ideology and how hard people are trying, not how much they're actually changing.
Its always "you don't know what might happen", not "look at whats happening". Which is understandable since NH is getting worse every year and most people don't like realistically addressing negative things.
As far as I can see FSP libertarians are fighting a losing battle for freedom in NH (as in NH is getting less free, not more). As admirable that might be purely in terms of effort, it doesn't mean anything is getting done, and the attitude that "the only chance is when people get together in one place", also ignores the fact its also perfectly possible (and likely) that people getting together in NH is going to achieve nothing or pretty close to nothing.
Although I understand how its easy to castigate anyone who disagrees with you as a naysayer who just wants everyone to give up.
