I joined the Free State Project

I intended to do this a while ago, but a technical glitch and then some doubts I had later on prevented me from it. However, as I was discussing and thinking lately, while observing the happenings in the world, it is becoming increasingly clear to me that if there will be a last stand made for true freedom on this Earth, it will be in New Hampshire. I wont say New Hampshire, USA though, just New Hampshire.

I believe it is the Switzerland of the american continents, except so much better. It may be the only place in which the old american ideals of freedom, which have made USA a “promised land” for so many fleeing europeans, will still survive and persevere until the time comes for the world to see the true nature of governments and socialism (even if mixed with some perversion of capitalism) and the true value of having freedom. The Free State Project and the people of the free land we know as New Hampshire, are going to show the way.

I do not believe that humanity has much of a choice except these two: either learn to live and let live, learn to respect the freedom and sovereignty of another, learn to live in peace OR perish, because the ways of perpetual warfare (between gangs known as government or between government and “its” people), of perpetual theft (welfare state), of perpetual victimization, violation and fear of each other – cannot lead to long term survivability, let alone prosperity, as the number of humans grows and the Earth continues to be destroyed by the power mad coercionists and their willfully mindless minions.

So I pledged to move to New Hampshire, some time in the future. The pledge is fairly open ended. I have up to five years after 20 000 people sign the pledge to move, so I don’t feel too pressured to move very soon. There are plenty of obstacles, from getting a visa (at least while USA as a federation still exists) to psychological issues of separating myself from the rest of my family and the place I’ve known for most of my life to the purely financial issues (the costs of moving, starting over there etc.).

But being that the future is uncertain and that a lot of opportunities are something I either recognize or create myself I would not say that it is impossible to resolve these issues. If I thought that I wouldn’t sign up.

So New Hampshire is very likely a part of my future.
