The inaugural episode of Live Free and Rant, a chat on politics and society from New Hampshire local to global, hosts Chris Maidment and Joël Valenzuela go over the starting of a podcast to follow in the footsteps of the illustrious Hillary Clinton (joking, of course). We also cover the Democratic primary soon coming to a close, with party establishment forces working hard to keep out dissident voices like Tulsi Gabbard and, to a lesser extent, Bernie Sanders. And finally, of course, we discuss the specter of the impending pandemic as it starts to reach the Granite State.
Civil disobedience: so hot right now! Chris and I cover the resurgence in civil disobedience thanks to the COVID lockdowns, with desperate businesses opening up in defiance of lockdown orders, and throngs of protesters calling for said lockdowns to end. We also finish up with some light-hearted fare on Alex Jones, including an ending song you don't want to miss.

Why do some people get so angry with you when they're afraid and you're not? Beyond any specific concerns about you actually impacting their safety, some people get really upset just at the fact of not being scared. This is because many of us are programmed to see fear for fear's sake to actually be a good thing.

So you start off full of optimism that you can change the world and solve society's problems with some simple activism campaigns, and a lot of voting. Then you have to scale back your expectations, until finally, you realize the system is useless and probably needs to end. But you keep waiting for the huge collapse that invariably never happens. Well rest assured, there's a better way: you can become an incremental collapsitarian and watch the world burn a little bit at a time, and be happy about it!

In the latest episode of Live Free and Rant we cover the "COVIDiots", the not-too-bright folks who ingested household cleaners and sealed their demise, as well as the two newest additions to the celebrity infected club: climate activist and carrier of the communism virus Greta Thunberg, and US Senator Rand Paul and his inadvertent quest to drain the swamp by spreading Corona all over Congress. We also go over the magic of distance learning and how New Hampshire is leading the way, unemployment and trade school, the economic value of a human life, and much more.

When we have severe political disagreements that we just can't hash out through voting alone, sometimes we can choose to shun people who we perceive to be "bad" enough. This lets people exercise their right to disagree on serious issues, however, at what point does it become too drastic? Do we really want to live in a world where people frequently end friendships and refuse to talk to people who just don't see the world the exact same way?

In light of another school shooting in Ulvade, it's become clear that something isn't working. Is the answer to ban guns? Fund the police more and place them in schools? Or maybe the system can't be fixed, and we need to exit it before we can find something different?

In 2020, New Hampshire voted for Joe Biden over Donald Trump by a significant margin, prompting people all over the country to claim that the state has taken a hard left turn, and that the Free State Project, an initiative to move liberty lovers to the space to solidify its already libertarian bent, had abjectly failed. But the truth is far from that. New Hampshire has been getting consistently freer year after year, and after the 2020 election this will only continue.
