In this episode of Live Free and Rant we go over the various ways tyrannical governors have cracked down on basic freedoms in the name of fighting the coronavirus, from arresting joggers to ticketing drive-in Easter worshipers to mandatory quarantining of anyone who went out to Sunday services. We also go over the "Karen boom," the plethora of cases of busybodies calling the cops on their neighbors and community members for living free, and the psychological shift that has to take place in order for people to actually embrace freedom and mind their own business.

For a change, this week on Live Free ant Rant we look into how the future is going to be bright on the other side of the present global catastrophe. We go over every way that recent upheavals have triggered a shift in the way we live, some in negative ways, but many in positive ways as well, from inherent distrust of the systems that have betrayed us, rise in firearms ownership and homeschooling, revolutionizing remote work and the death of the office, and more.

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.

We rant about censorship and big players turning to other networks that let them speak freely, foremost among them being Joe Rogan, the biggest podcaster on the planet, leaving YouTube and going to Spotify over the former's censorship issues. We cover the ever-shrinking subset of viewpoints allowable by the mainstream media and dominating platforms, and the rapid exodus to alternative platforms.

With police brutality in the forefront of everyone's mind, the #DefundPolice hashtag has taken over, and while there's some nuance to its meaning, there has actually been a serious discussion around the unthinkable: getting rid of cops altogether and replacing them with something new. And while this is a radical idea, what could it actually look like? What would you, personally, do to keep your society from plunging into chaos without police?

Back in 2014, I witnessed the first known full purchase of a vehicle for Bitcoin in New Hampshire between two Free State Project participants. While buying large-ticket items for cryptocurrency is a relatively commonplace occurrence today, back then it was revolutionary and newsworthy. Enjoy this peep back into a simpler time.

The Libertarian Party in the US has been going through some upheaval lately, with newer energized members from the Mises Caucus etc. growing in importance with an uncomprimising messaging strategy, while other elements of the party are freaking out about it. Sure, I could do some research and go into nuances of what series of events caused this latest uproar, but I think it goes much deeper than that. There's been a segment of the movement in general that has focused far too much on being inoffensive for far too long.

In this latest episode of Live Free and Rant we cover the latest nonsensical idea to come out of the pandemic: that the crazy leader of the US government, Donald Trump, is somehow both a wicked tyrant exerting more power and control than he should have, and a do-nothing whose refusal to act in superceding local authority is putting the country in grave danger. The truth is probably somewhere between the two. We also go over the suggested lawsuit against all of China for starting all this, and whether or not we might see a crime against humanity charge for mentioning the coronavirus cure.

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?
