An ok read, despite being very much more partisan and harsh than what is usually discussed or linked on LW.
Despite libertarian efforts to recruit the young and liberal-minded into the flock with promises of ending the wars, closing Guantanamo and calling off the cozy relationship with the Likudniks, The Reactionary Mind makes it clear that there’s no fundamental difference between any of these right-wing breeds, and thus common ground is neither possible nor desirable, particularly with the libertarians. “When the libertarian looks out upon society,” writes Robin, “he does not see isolated individuals; he sees private, often hierarchical, groups, where a father governs his family and an owner his employees.”
Those darn out group members! Der all the same I tells ya!
Exactly. I just linked to it for teh lulz, to be honest. And to rebel against our group norms.
Damn, I might be emulating Will a bit too much.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post, even in Discussion, it goes here.
