The Town That Went Feral

When a group of libertarians set about scrapping their local government, chaos descended. And then the bears moved in.

Me, a Finn, knowing that bears are inherently holy animals: I see. Interesting. 

No, but seriously though, please read the article. Some of my favourite parts were: 

a quixotic quest to secure tax exemption while refusing to acknowledge the legitimacy of the IRS to grant it. There’s Adam Franz, a self-described anti-capitalist who set up a tent city to serve as “a planned community of survivalists,” even though no one who joined it had any real bushcraft skills. There’s Richard Angell, an anti-circumcision activist known as “Dick Angel.”

Some people just “don’t get the responsibility side of being libertarians,” Rosalie Babiarz tells Hongoltz-Hetling, which is certainly one way of framing the problem.

Caught up in “pitched battles over who was living free, but free in the right way,”

Franz quit his survivalist commune, which soon walled itself off into a prisonlike compound, the better to enjoy freedom.

no one wants bears in their backyard, but apparently no one wants to invest sustainably in institutions doing the unglamorous work to keep them out either

Whether it be assaults by bears, imperceptible toxoplasmosis parasites, or a way of life where the freedom of markets ultimately trumps individual freedom, even the most cocksure of Grafton’s inhabitants must inevitably face something beyond and bigger than them.

This is what Project 2025 "Lets return to the Good Old Days", is really about . Don't be fooled.
