there was a libertarian takeover project to use NH as a sort of libertarian exclave. NH also hosts the Porcupine Freedom Festival, which is like a summer camp for libertarians where you pay for booze and wares with slivers of gold. Planet Money has a great episode about it.
it's not like a majority of NH is libertarian, it's just the highest concentration of libertarians. and subjectively the vibes are real different from VT.
critiquing both is what makes you a left libertarian.
Libertarians in the US want small government on three axes: they want to eliminate programs (e.g. welfare, retirement or universal healthcare), public utilities (e.g. electricity, highways), and regulation (e.g. antitrust, banking laws.) in economic terms, it's very right-wing, since it's pure unadulterated capitalism. usually they want government to "stay out of the bedroom and the boardroom" though, so they're often progressive on civil liberties. unfortunately, many self-styled "libertarians" are socially conservative, or care only about their freedoms.
Left Libertarians see both the State and Corporations as oppressive power structures, and want to reign both in. think Anarchists, but not as radical. most favor decentralized, collective government with lots of direct democracy. New Hampshire is the most right-libertarian state, while Vermont is the most left-libertarian.
the Libertarian Party in the US is ridiculously disorganized because organizing Libertarians is like herding cats. afaik there aren't really unified Libertarian parties anywhere in the world, though maybe e.g. the Pirate Party would be close?
"politically motivated assassinations?" like the two Democratic politicians who were just murdered yesterday in Minnesota?
it could be a bad RAM chip. we should start Prime95, check for ECC faults..
eh, sorta. the books the Nazis burned in that famous photograph were the library of Magnus Hirschfeld, a Jewish sexologist who studied and supported trans people, and who even hired some as his assistants. did the Nazis burn his books because he supported trans people, or because he was a Jew? both, I think. the Nazis practiced intersectional hatred. they accused Hirschfeld of promoting degeneracy to undermine Aryan society, an anti-Semitic trope that continues today.
gay and trans people were sent to concentration camps, but not usually to the death camps.
likewise, the predecessor to the NSDAP specifically singled out Jews in its founding document, but (afaik) not homosexuals.
this is my recollection anyway, as a trans woman who's a potential convert.
Larry David's humor is perfect for this. what a mensch.
ran a Tor exit node. chatted on Bluelight. took over a (small) botnet. tripped on research chemicals.
HRT should be available to trans kids. it seems I'm increasingly alone in this belief, depressingly, looking at the political situation around the world.
I had a bong as a freshman. I cleaned it with acetone. I then had several tubes instead.
so, NATO's surrender then.. as a condition of a cease-fire with Ukraine.. which isn't a NATO member.. which Putin invaded ostensibly to prevent it from joining NATO. right...
sure, I think we can do that. no Western troops, no problem! we'll just give them each a few dozen hydrogen bombs, and call it even.
