Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 03-10-26
I missed publishing a set of Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday. But that just means I have more links saved for today.

#Libertarians Took Control of This Small Town in #NewHampshire. It Didn’t End Well.
A new book shows the troubling consequences of #GraftonNH’s anti-government experiment.
"Today, we are all living in Grafton. Armies of rabid bears are wandering through our streets, clawing at our window screens, and gnashing their teeth at our children while the phone rings unanswered at the state department of fish and game. The old village church is erupting in flames, but someone has slashed the tires on our town’s lone fire truck, and the fire hydrants—unmaintained for a decade—have all run dry. Terrified, we beg our neighbors for help, only to be told that the Lord will protect us, or that the cataclysm in the streets is just punishment for our moral failures or our political misdeeds."

Excerpt: "Certainly, the author is not alone in finding cause for amusement in Grafton’s funny little basket of deplorables. For years now, reporters and pundits have chosen to focus on the style, rather than the policy substance, of the growing #LibertarianRight. Again and again, we read stories of rural rubes clad head to toe in #MAGA swag, hunched over chipped cutlery in dingy diners, wielding biscuits to wipe the last of the sausage gravy from their oversized plates while vociferously proclaiming that taxation is theft and inveighing against the nanny state. In choosing to shoot these red, white, and blue fish in a barrel, Hongoltz-Hetling is in very good company.
"But had the author not chosen snark over substance, his book could have served as a peculiarly timely cautionary tale, because the conflicting philosophical principles that drive this story are central to understanding American politics today. The differences between the libertarian stumblebums who moved to Grafton and the staff of the #Koch-funded #CatoInstitute are mostly sartorial. And the sad outcomes of Grafton’s wacky social experiment are now being repeated in American communities every single day. "

The few expressions of pushback that have emerged have largely been futile, & instigated by #Republicans who are set to #retire at the end of this congressional session or cut rare maverick streaks, such as Sen #RandPaul & Rep #ThomasMassie, both Kentucky #libertarians who posted Justice #Gorsuch’s words admiringly on social media.

Trump presented as: vindictive, racist, corrupt +lawless demagogue🚨*not remotely an analog on the other side of the aisle.
Many #libertarians cont to🚨“pox on both your houses” perch *pos is how your mvt ends up conflating the tyranny of temp Covid policies in D-run areas as🟰to: tyranny of a secret police F🚨acting w/o due process for everyone when attempting to arrest suspected illegal IMMs💔*executing Americans +branding:🚨“dom terrorists.”

This video is brutal:
Includes clips of the athletes disavowing #DictatorDon, and a lengthy collection of him being booed at various events (his incredibly rude and insulting attack on #Libertarians AT the Libertarian Party Convention that invited him to speak to them was wildly offensive & clueless.)

@thetnholler.bsky.social ALL libertarians should be gathered, dropped at some bare rock island in the middle of the ocean, and left there, without any water, food, medicine, to see what they think of cooperation and building upon what others built.
Then we talk. After, say, 6months.
If they can't talk after 6months there, I am ok with that, too. No loss.
