 Honestly I'm happier with people like Rowling who generated their money through making a series enjoyed by people worldwide and who taxes on it being billionaires then people like the Koch's who got a huge inheritance and use it to screw the little people to make more.

The original comment was in regards to right-wing radicals in Europe, where the working-class overwhelmingly backed Hofer in Austria, and current polls say they will overwhelmingly back Brexit. FN support is also disproportionately working class.


Progressive politicians can appeal to whites without slagging off minorities or throwing out environmentalism. Bernie was not popular with minorities, and he did handle Black and Latino voters' concerns pretty awkwardly at times, but it's a bit of a stretch to say that he threw them under the bus.


This is just a massive failure in controlling the narrative. Environmentalists would have more success if they stressed the impact to people rather than wild animals that they might never see. Your water and air being poisoned are much starker images than spotted owls. People are selfish, but they also like progress and stable societies. You can use this against lots of libertarians insane proposals. Privatize the fire department? Do you want your house to burn down if it's not profitable to put it out?

You think this is in any way based in logic, Michelle Obama tried to convince people to give their children soda instead of water and I even know several parents who intentionally bought Coke to spite her. Hell look at those people who breath in the exhaust fumes just to spite him, this is all driven by looking for something to hate and you can't explain your way out of it to most people.

Shouldn't Libertarians be all about people doing whatever they want to their bodies. Also do not look at the replies to that Tweet, many of them are straight up threats to LGBT people.

So how do downward rights work? does everyone terminate at a point at earth core? what about up rights? earth travels through a celestial sphere and on a long enough timeline there's measureable shifting with respect to some arbitrary non inf. but far away distant point

Whatever is most profitable for the libertarian presenting the argument at that moment.
