You are free to leave, in fact Dennis Pratt, claims the FSP will pay you moving expenses to leave!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI video summary:<br>The provided video features an interview with Dennis Pratt, a prominent member of the Free State Project, which encourages libertarians to migrate to New Hampshire to establish a concentrated center of liberty. Pratt describes his personal evolution from democratic socialism to libertarianism, emphasizing that the movement requires individuals with rare traits like intellectual flexibility and a high intolerance for logical inconsistencies. He explains that the project utilizes a concentration strategy to influence local politics and law, moving away from ineffective attempts to convert the general authoritarian population. Within this community, members focus on advancing freedom across various fronts, including educational choice, food freedom, and gun rights, while navigating internal social challenges like the &#8220;tyranny of small differences.&#8221; Pratt advocates for scaling down the project to specific towns to bypass restrictive zoning laws that currently hinder younger families from joining. Ultimately, he views New Hampshire as a unique freedom nexus where like-minded people can live without the threat of government aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"121 - Dennis Pratt: Liberty, Community &amp; The Free State Project\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BaetfloGL2s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related Posts:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=11029\">Shawn Faber: False Prophets of Politics<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=11315\">Town Councilor Shawn Faber \u2018The Art of War\u2019<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=10746\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=10746\">Town Councilor Shawn Faber to Speak at PorcFest, 6\/20\/2025<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=11007\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=11007\">Legislative Advocacy: Town Council\u2019s Role in State Affairs<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=10614\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=10614\">Planning Board Has No Opinion on Zoning Bills<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=10579\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=10579\">NH Municipal Association Opposes Zoning Mandates from Concord<\/a><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The video below was sent to me and seems to explain some of the sweeping zoning changes we have seen coming out of Concord.
