The winning state in the Free State Project poll will be announced today.This is a fascinating project if there was any, that I've been following for quite some time now. (And from a distance since, unfortunately there's little chance to be part of it when you're - still - stuck in the weasels before it's actually achieved. Then it will certainly be worth having a look at that Free State's position on immigration... - And yeah, I know about the European Free State project. <insert sweet dreams here>)
Eric Raymond, whose Anti-Idiotarian Manifesto can be traced as one of the dissident frogman's founding document, (alongside the Samizdatistas and, of course, Merde in France, later followed by the subtle yet insightful influence of François Guillaumat) notes:
What could be more American than migrating to a thinly-settled area to experiment with liberty?Hey Mr. Raymond! I know what! Ask me! Ask me! I know what's more American! Shall I say it now?
Okay, what's even more American than migrating to a thinly-settled area and experiment with liberty is: being so good at doing it that more than 200 years after the beginning of the experiment you've been successful enough to earn in return the possibility to keep pushing it further, towards ends never reached before in the history of our kind.
Well, at least that's how America look from a dissident frogman's point of view of a France whose political and constitutional instability is nothing but the visible tip of its elites' fond attachment to feudalism as the best mean to secure their own interests (11 regime changes, half kings, phony emperors, shaky republics, corrupted governments maintaining lush and bounteous corporatist and syndical collusions and... Oh, I lost the count of authoritarian "saviors of democracy", "popular" upraises and junk "revolutions" again. Bugger.)
