| Re: Free State Project
First of all, "I have no intention of going, I hate freedom"? If there was ever a strawman fallacy, this would be it. Many people love freedom as much as you do, they just see the libertarian ideology as being untenable for some reason or other. That doesn't make them totalitarians, though. This isn't either/or. You're never going to get anywhere either in converting people or intelligently discussing your ideas if you start off with the assumption "people who don't agree with me hate freedom".
As far as what I think of the FSP myself, I'm torn. On the one hand, I think third parties need more say in America and the FSP is one way to do it. On the other hand, it seems tantamount to invasion to me. I'd hate it if a bunch of people, especially people whose governance philosophy I disagreed with, moved en masse into my state and started telling me how to run the place.
