Based. Peace and anti-war activism is for everyone. The libertarian party should be entirely anti-state, anti-war, and anti-tyranny. This is harder to achieve when a group of people who want cultural exclusion are at the helm. The libertarian party, and its message of peace will continue to die until those who promote cultural exclusion are shunned en masse. Case in point, a prominent anti-war libertarian has called me a "cultural marxist" that shouldn't be welcome in the movement. Do you think that helps or hurts the coalition?

We'll be back with a plan to reconstitute the libertarian antiwar camp. While we cannot undo the damage of past 4 years, we can start fresh. All libertarians are welcome. Leave your culture wars at the door: Go argue with trans people somewhere else. - Angela

I used to really worry about all the people embracing white nationalism. Then I noticed that all their thoughts are that of ahistorical victim narrative bullshit. I worry less now about these types of ethno-nationalists. I worry much more about the intelligent ones that can control people like this with flowery language that makes them feel special. If the participation trophy era taught us anything, its that mediocre people who feel special will have tantrums if they aren't affirmed. All people who are against forced hierarchies should be prepared to put them in social timeout and defend against their physical outbursts if necessary. Man oh man, its hilarious seeing the same people who claim superiority looking so fucking pathetic, though.

I didn't know you then, and its honestly hard to imagine you doing this type of post. That incompatibility of your current self with your former self in the eyes of others is a good thing. More people will continue to walk away. Shame doesn't work after they leave, it will only push people back into the same(or a different) cult. So we must welcome those who are truly resenting of their prior actions.

@fredricson1967 Nice try.

I voted for Trump (regrettably). Now it’s time to impeach him. He’s gone completely off the rails.

@TheOtherMassie Seems appropriate to me.

This made me laugh so hard:

@BiblicalAnarchy The definition of -And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

*worships Jesus* *cheers for the deaths of children* "Depart from me, I never knew you" was invented for people such as you

We would like to introduce you all to a new website, LPMerit.org. This is a website designed to be like ballotpedia, except exclusively for elections to the Libertarian National Committee and Judicial Committee. Our hope is that this website stands the test of time, and that fifty years from now people are still using it to choose their Libertarian leadership. If you are a candidate for any position on the LNC or JC this year, I hope that you will take the time to make a profile and give your answers to the questions asked of candidates. It's fairly in-depth, so I would expect to spend at least 15 minutes on it. This is a truly neutral platform that we are providing to the party. LP Alliance works to revolutionize the party culture, but we are also doers. We build tools that we believe will help fix the party. We believe LPMerit can help delegates be free thinkers who evaluate all candidates based on their merits instead of their caucus affiliations. Thank you all for being delegates and candidates, and we hope this will be useful for you.

He is a moderate libertarian, who just fought for his free speech rights after having his property and personal rights violated. Then he won in court. There is not globing on to anything, it was a libertarian fight that we are happy about. Its honestly just such weird energy to like double down on this. There is no "taking the L" like other people are saying. You weren't informed about his role in the liberty space, no biggie, just move on and be happy with us that he won.

@SpenThom @RealSpikeCohen @LPAlabama_ Yes

Pretty lame that the libertarian party is trying to glob onto the Afroman thing.

Let me explain what a $2 billion “cow collar” actually is 👇 They put an AI collar on a cow. It tracks location. Health. Movement. Behavior. Every second of every day. A farmer opens an app. Draws a line on a map. That line becomes a fence. No physical fence. No wall. Nothing visible. When the cow gets close to the boundary.. the collar vibrates. The cow turns around. Within 10 days the animal doesn’t even test the boundary anymore. It just stays inside. 700,000 animals are already wearing them. They called it a “cowgorithm.” They want you to laugh at it. Now read the technology again without the word cow.. 24/7 GPS tracking on every individual. Real time health and behavior monitoring. Invisible boundaries drawn from a phone. Movement controlled through vibration and sound. Subject learns compliance within days. $2 billion. And guess who led the investment… Peter Thiel. The same man who built Palantir. CIA backed surveillance from day one. The same man who just got a $10 billion Pentagon contract to run AI inside the military. His entire career is building systems that track and control. Now he’s funding a collar that does exactly that. They’re not investing in farming. The farming is the test… Most people have no idea what’s coming…

@Hortysir @AncapAir They would make the same statement about capitalism. Looking at the destruction of our empire as a byproduct of state capitalism. Words can be tainted. But each must get over their aversion.

I'll comment on this coz it sorta applies to me. I don't hate or wish death. I'm just a words guy. And Communism is a word with meaning. And history. It always but always and always turns authoritarian. Sure "perfect Communism" is ideal. But humans aren't perfect and that previous sentence kinda rhymes with "real Communism has never been tried" I can trade and operate in a neighboring community, yes, as long as it's voluntary

GM!! Since I've triggered the anarcho-purists last night, I may as well double down. I'm an anarchist first, and a capitalist second. Meaning I hate the authoritarian state more than literally anything else. "BuT aNcOm CaNt eXiSt WiThOuT fOrCe!" Yes it can. You have either an inability or a stubborn refusal to separate the historic evils committed by statist communism and the idea of voluntary community sharing of resources. Just like how many ancoms conflate capitalism as corporate fascism, that's on you. You don't have to understand it's granular mechanisms, but you should acknowledge the possibility of voluntary communsim, even in theory. "BuT aNcOmZ wAnT tO MuRdEr uS!" Then they aren't anarchists the same way "ancaps" who want to throw ancoms from helicopters aren't. Stop dehumanizing your fellow human because they have a different economic philosophy than you do. Ancaps get fulfillment out of innovation, invention, and self-improvement. Ancoms get fulfillment out of community service, sharing, and selflessness. Neither is inherently evil. What is evil is using force to accomplish these things, as well as using these differences as a justification to commit murder against "the others." "cOaL!!" Lol! I don't fucking care. What I do care about is abolishing the state, and if you think any post-statist world is going to solely consist of your preferred version of anarchy, you're retarded. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: The post-statist world will be a beautiful tapestry of a million anarchies... Better start getting along with "the others" now, because it is all but a guarantee that Ancapistan and Ancompton will need to peacefully trade with one another, lest we prove the statist fuckwits correct in their claim that anarchy will form a state in order to make war with our neighbors... Now stop being a retarded anarcho-purist, realize other forms of anarchy are perfectly valid (even if you don't understand them), and let's all just get the fuck along. I shouldn't have to ask people to be cordial with others, but here we are...

Did you know we used to have a legal right to resist an unlawful arrest? Courts erased it. Now the rule is: “Submit first, sort it out later.” A century ago, the law recognized bodily autonomy against state overreach. The state replaced that with a doctrine of forced submission, justified by “order.” Now your only recourse is their “court of law”… and we all know how that works out for the people.

One affiliate lost a donor who was giving $40k because of the messaging coming out of LPNH. The account carries the name that extends beyond New Hampshire. I've had to personally defend myself and my career once someone asked if I was a libertarian. I had to explain that I when I say I'm a libertarian, that I am not a racial supremacist when talking to professionals in my research field that grew up in NH. Not to mention how many small L libertarians and anarchists I've spoken to who directly cite the messaging coming out of your affiliate for why they don't want to support my state party. Including former large donors. If your(Kauffman et al.) takes on identarian pseudoscience happened on your personal pages, I and others would debate you there with ideas you have yet to engage with. I think because you have to deal with someone who has thought deeply about these questions. Instead, you poison the well by speaking for all libertarians who maintain an association with the word and party. Keep unrelated nonsense away from the party and people would bitch a lot less. If you see the state silencing people for speaking on the topic, defend the right to free speech. Instead, you promote the particular speech and tie it to the word libertarian when it is often anti-libertarian collectivism. You've admitted to a malicious aim to keep out libertarians you don't agree with. The aim is toxicity that will risk careers etc. And in doing so you push away people that are more radical and principled, many who otherwise might consider moving to NH. This is not a cultural left vs right issue. Its a one side purposely saying "fuck you" and then defining right libertarianism as cosigning racial hierarchies. Its fucking demented behavior.

Definitely open to considering that but we see a lack of evidence for the hypothesis especially since our X account is the BIGGEST of any affiliate and NH is having the most success of any state on Liberty. Plus, look at the party, is @LPNH really the problem? REALLY?

A terrible idea for a great cause! Just glad I don’t have to do the live show afterward. 🤣members.lpnc.org/2026-conventio…

FREE IZZY!!!

🚨As the national debt blows past $39 trillion, Washington is still pouring billions into wasteful spending and endless foreign wars like there’s no limit because to them, there isn’t. At what point do we admit the system is built on debt, dependency, and decline?

Friday 8pm ET Are You Smarter Than a Politician? More control. Less freedom. And they call it progress. These three aren’t buying it. As always, you're in control. The chat determines the scores.

@DennisPrattFree Ron Paul represents right libertarianism. Not freaks like Kauffman.

This is such a bullshit take. Im a free market capitalist anarchist. Yet would be considered "left" by freaks like Kauffman. Collective ownership is only okay when voluntarily agreed upon. So stop the bullshit arguments and deal with the real issues people like me bring up. Like the purposeful pseudoscience nonsense through the party account. Again, I prefer no hierarchies of any kind. Yet do not care if they are voluntarily formed. The language out of the affiliate is constantly promoting identarian forced hierarchies. Bunch of neo-reactionary garbage.

While all libertarians relocate to New Hampshire to oppose big government and build a freer society, a recurring clash reveals a deep attitudinal divide between two libertarian personality types. I call them “left” and “right”, though those labels often confuse outsiders. (Perhaps you can suggest better labels?) “Right-libertarians” (the more dominant NH group since COVID) accept natural differences in ability, skill, and outcomes (e.g., some people are simply better at certain things). They respect strong, competent leaders and view merit-based hierarchies as inevitable and productive. “Left-libertarians” (a smaller but vocal group) oppose hierarchies and favor egalitarianism (e.g., equal access to “commons” like roads, parks, and sidewalks over full privatization). They resist ideas like “some people are better,” often emphasizing equal worth and diverse abilities and reject notions of innate differences. They tend to be suspicious or envious of strong leaders. This split appears in everyday debates: right-libertarians prioritize individual excellence and leadership; left-libertarians push for flatter, more equal structures and resent perceived elitism. The divide frustrates cooperation -- both in New Hampshire (e.g., PorcFest) and nationally (e.g., Libertarian Party). Despite shared anti-state and personal-freedom goals, differing attitudes toward inequality and leadership make teamwork difficult. Some right-libertarians see left-libertarians as too similar to progressive/socialist egalitarians, while left-libertarians may view right-libertarians as not anti-authority enoug. It’s more about mindset than ideology, but pretending this obvious split doesn’t exist undermines cooperation. #LibertarianHomeland

During the 1800s, Irish immigrants faced intense discrimination. They were stereotyped as lazy, violent subhumans incapable of assimilation and portrayed as a threat to the American way of life, faced widespread employment and housing discrimination, and were routinely demonized by nativist politicians — an act that led violent anti-immigrant mobs to target Irish communities. With this history in mind, the 3-letter agency currently pushing the same nativist rhetoric and fostering the same anti-immigrant attitudes once directed at the Irish should probably sit this particular holiday out.
