I addressed it. I stated that I don't think that a clearly biased website is a sensible place to get an education.
Nobody is making shit up. Just extrapolating from the available data, i.e. your posts.
Everyone is biased.
The piece is not originally from the website, as i said.
"With over a million copies sold, Economics in One Lesson is an essential guide to the basics of economic theory. A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, Hazlitt defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day."
Now completely free and online, waiting to be read by inquiring minds.
If you want to better understand some concepts behind some conservative/libertarian positions its probably a good idea to read it.
I'm not saying its perfect or should be read uncritically, but i think there is serious merit to reading it and in many of the things that are said.
I thought you were a 400 IQ genius that is bringing our average IQ up ten points?
Why not take the intellectual route instead of dismissing it out of hand?
I totally understand that carrying on believing conservatives and libertarians are just bad people or ignorant hillybilly rednecks is an appealing competing option, but its not an intellectual one.
I'm trying to make an attempt to come to a better mutual understanding here. Not just trying to meme or issue a challenge.
I hope you can see that and hopefully check something like it out sometime. Same thing goes to anyone else here.
I think a better understanding of where we are coming from on the issues would be preferable to 'they just hate the poor/love the rich/want to kill everyone etc'

Also - let's be fair mate. That's not why you call people cucks. You call people cucks because all your alt-right "libertarian" heroes overuse the word and you're easily impressionable.
I don't have any alt-right heroes.
Using words that other people use is human nature.
Multiple reasons are behind most things we do, in my estimation.
