NH Libertarian Party seems to be just fine with threatening political violence on unhoused folks and anyone to their left. Not sure if they know that this is textbook authoritarianism...

If you're going to use GPT5.0, send it this before you start. This is about staying safe from OpenAI if you are going to use it.

Lmao this one upset a few landlords who probably just scroll youtube all day and use their tenants money to fund that lifestyle - either that or they're just some folks that hate poor people for being poor 🤷

Pleasure having you Eric! Solid conversation - top highlight for me was "privatization is theft"

Discussing policy is not where we're at, reframing ideology is where we're at, and the left never gave a solid argument for why the libertarian logic was flawed. That needs to happen, and if dots are connected I think there's a way to run roughshod over both liberals and conservatives.

000

Larry Folger @larryfolger.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

The national technique isn't going to map onto this state. That's just real. The left here needed to be unapologetically cutting when it came to ideologically burning the right. We never stole their techniques to use them, we never spent time genuinely arguing why they were wrong.

Larry Folger @larryfolger.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

I get that a lot of the progressive scene got burnt out with the fight, but I think there's a serious element of people from that arena acting out of self preservation and parroting Bernie style politics rather than really being willing to set themselves aside and genuinely reclaim turf from the FSP

Larry Folger @larryfolger.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

The idea of personal liberty and individualism doesn't exist in opposition to collective action - if anything they're kinda flip sides of the same coin. If you treat them like they're opposing values, both sides will end up failing.

Larry Folger @larryfolger.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

Something I think about often is the meaning of the word "libertarian" and how it was appropriated by "classical liberals" when it was historically a socialist position - maybe this concept needs a genuine reframing to illustrate the gross hypocrisy and smooth brain ideology of FSP

Larry Folger @larryfolger.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

I'm not one to believe that podcasting actually has an impact, but if it does serve as a means to genuinely motivate people to get involved in action, maybe there's some value?

Larry Folger @larryfolger.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

So the question is how to revitalize? I genuinely wonder if rebooting Locally Sourced in a more focused manner would help. It feels like without any kind of media that distills things it's hard to overcome the atomization. Without someone in your ear at work or in the car, etc. what keeps it going?

The progressive movement in NH is an absolute dead body rn. Feels like any motion that existed 4-6 years ago was just stomped out.

Larry Folger @larryfolger.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

FB ads were not enough to convert sentiment to votes, and without NHDP money the ad buys for TV were out of the question. The cost to fill a gas tank over and over for a handful of votes just didn't cut it. It's possible that now podcasting and online ads could move the needle, but that's a stretch

Larry Folger @larryfolger.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

Marchand's primary campaign against Kelly in 20 reinforces this. I watched that crew drive up and down the state all day every day, and struggle to get word out to voters via traditional boots on the ground technique, but they didn't have enough people to execute the door knocking

The most brutal part of reading Marx is that even while he's just confusing outright, he's also actively trying to bait you by making you more confused, so he has this massive flex when he does the big gotcha reveal. Kudos for style points but fuck man, it's abstruse as hell.

If you're putting identity politics at a higher priority than class or economic equity politics, you are not left, and you're undermining your own goals of actual balance of identity in society.

Larry Folger @larryfolger.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Just so we are clear "liberals" are not a part of "the left", they are centrist authoritarian, and actually in deep opposition to the left. To create a direct association between the two is a tactic of appropriation to shift the Overton window to the right. Conflation implies political ignorance

So "Eagleopolis", which on the global map in HD2, is firmly planted on the land of Israel, Palestine, and northern Egypt just fell to the illuminate. And Arrowhead claims this game isn't about making a political statement lol

I wish folks understood that most people's political beliefs come directly from the part of their brain that says "how can I make sure I cover my own ass?" conversing with the other part of their brain that says "here's how much I care about anybody but me"

Yeah, that was honestly the only place I could see his bloated argument going. For someone who thinks he's so granular, his thought process seems pretty two dimensional.

Larry Folger @larryfolger.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

He also did a polite version of something I see "conservatives" do often, which is suggesting that a source being referenced (often by him himself) was somehow less legitimate. Even when that was the only available source to site.

Larry Folger @larryfolger.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

Ezra Klein came off like such an amateur on TMR with Sam today. He repeatedly refused to acknowledge really fundamental dynamics of economics, money in politics and also straw-manned an idea that there is some kind of power that isn't money, but never described what that power was. Embarrassing.

Bro is out here trying to normalize asking for basic laws to be followed "radical" on some classic liberal bullshit. Dumbass jokes like this are why fascists had an opening to shift the Overton window to the right, ya know, since he couldn't be bothered to add "/s"
