Don't be assholes. Some of the libertarians who moved to the Keene area (a small portion) have made complete asses of themselves, effectively doing more harm to the cause of liberty than good. Since the 1980s I used to tell people that I was a libertsrian. I no longer am willing to use that word to describe myself because a small number of loudly offensive people have destroyed it for the rest of us.

The nh libertarian Twitter also doesn't do the cause any favors

+1 That twitter feed is trash and generally the entire organized NHLP is trash.

A couple libertarian or free state types that I know swear that those clowns are solely there to sabotage the lolbertarian 'party'.

Yeah, whoever is posting on social media in behalf of the NHLP seems to have a pretty broad racist streak running through them.

These days I'm often more inclined to call myself classical liberal than libertarian.

Unfortunately, the news media will amplify the jerks in any group.

Agreed. But most people don't understand the phrase "classical liberal." They just think you mean "liberal but not a progressive liberal."

I believe in traditional libertarian principals: fiscal conservatism, social liberalism, and that government works best when it is closest to those it serves.

Why would vegans need to migrate?

To find more people to be insufferable to.

The vegans should hire you as a consultant if they're looking to be even more insufferable.

Maybe the dating children thing was to sell the church as legit…. Too soon?

Or multiple churches, lol

From the DOJ release on the clown: "Shire Free Church, the Church of the Invisible Hand, the Crypto Church of New Hampshire and the NH Peace Church."

Last I checked vegans weren't a collective group that affected others. You can be a vegan in NH just as easily as any other place.

Unless you mean some sort of weird political vegan agenda(?) like the libertarian loonytunes.

My guess is they are trying to create a large enough community of vegans to create a consumer demand. My vegetarian husband and I are summer people up near Pittsburg and the only thing that sucks about the area is that at restaurants he can only have cheese pizza or onion rings.

The closest vegetarian restaurant is in Canada.

We have chewed on the idea many times of putting up a snack shack for ATV riders that oops just so happens to be vegetarian, but are worried we won't have enough consumer demand to stay open.

ETA I am not saying we deserve a full on vegetarian restaurant up there!! Just.... I wish they would each offer 1 vegetarian main dish. Even meat eaters don't want to eat meat with every single meal, right?

I don't think about what my food's ingredients are 90% of the time.

Most places do have salads and subs, but I get what you mean. Vegetarian is a lot easier than vegan.

Meat should be eaten 3 meals a day and bacon served as midway snacks.

I wouldn’t love long, but I could do it 🤣

That irrational exuberance, zealotry, and trying to force your will on others will make even those with whom you share some common cause dislike and disavow you.

Don’t be a cunt. Have better ideas. Realize life isn’t black and white and context does matter. Understand life isn’t all about just yourself. Let us know when the Libertarian learns this.

SolitudeNH t1_j1i998p wrote

Stay the fuck outta NH if you’re trying to convert it or something. Free staters chose NH because they thought they could turn it into a nutjob failed “free state”. If you want to live in NH and be vegan, by all means, come here, start a homestead, raise veggies, all that. But if you want to try and get NH to start boycotting meat or dairy industries, ain’t gonna work. Dairy farms, small meat farms, hunting and trapping in the blood of most New Hampshiremen, as most New Englanders, the vegan lifestyle won’t be popular. If you protest a family owned dairy, you’re likely to get hit with a tractor. Vandalism or sabotage is likely to get you worse.

I like to think of NH as a “mind your business and everyone will mind theirs”, it’s not always true, but it’s how it should be.

Vegans don’t migrate for food. People migrate for work and better living situations.

Maybe google “Free Staters” and consider adding “Keene” to your search. Then don’t do anything that comes up.
