Bearly Tolerable: Libertarians, Free State Project, and Unintended Consequences
A Town's Experiment with Anarchy
Free State Project Unleashes Bear Mauling Epidemic
Prepare yourself for an extraordinary tale that reads like a political satire. In the quaint town of Grafton, New Hampshire, a peculiar experiment in libertarianism unfolded, leading to a series of hilariously absurd and unintentionally alarming events.
As part of the Free State Project, a group of libertarians sought to establish a libertarian utopia in Grafton. Their ambition was to slash local taxes, dismantle government oversight, and create a society founded on individual freedom.
However, their lofty aspirations soon turned into a comedy of errors. With taxes slashed, the town's infrastructure crumbled. Unpaved roads became treacherous obstacle courses, and essential services like fire protection dwindled.
And then there were the bears. Oh, the bears! With the collapse of government regulation, the local bear population flourished. What was once a peaceful coexistence between humans and wildlife turned into a series of violent encounters. Bear attacks became so commonplace that residents began carrying firearms even to the grocery store.
In a remarkable confluence of incompetence and unintended consequences, Grafton's experiment in libertarianism spiraled into a surreal nightmare. The would-be libertarian utopia had inadvertently created a haven for bears and a living nightmare for its human inhabitants.
