Free Cities Podcast 052 - Jeremy Kauffman: New Hampshire Free State Project & Libertarian Politics
New Hampshire Free State Project, Libertarianism, Politics, Frontier Spaces, Ideological Communities, Alarmism, A.I., Regulation, PorcFest.
Timothy Allen talks with Jeremy Kauffman.
Jeremy is a tech entrepreneur and a well-known activist in the American Libertarian movement. He is deeply involved in the New Hampshire Free State Project, which is the focus of our conversation. He lives in New Hampshire and was the Libertarian nominee for the 2022 US Senate election there.
In this episode, we discuss the Free State Project and the US political landscape in general, along with Jeremy’s perspectives on the Libertarian movement and the best strategies for carving out a pathway to freedom in the future.
Additionally, we touch on topics such as A.I., frontier spaces, collapsatarianism (I love discovering new words), Jeremy’s opinion of the Free Cities movement, and I get the low down on why I should bring my family to visit PorcFest – New Hampshire’s epic Libertarian Freedom Festival.
Enjoy the conversation.
