The Left hates TBC. The Right loves it.
The Left (who invented the word) believe "meritocracy" is sheep's clothing covering the wolf of privilege. The Right believes they have better genes.
There is no common ground, both sides think the others are unsound.
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoWell it was written as a specific well-funded piece of political propaganda for the right, so it's not surprising that they like it. People could be misled into thinking that the left and right are having a disagreement about some neutral science findings the way you phrased it, like e.g. "The right-wing hates climate science" (and where they also heavily fund "scientists" that are prepared to write books full of nonsense that suits their goals that "the left" "hate"). edit: and as, luck would have it, as someone else just pointed out, the most recent article on this site is about climate denial: "This raises the matter of what we now routinely refer to as “climate change” – catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW), to use one of the climateers’ favoured and emotionally laden descriptors. Tony Abbott, speaking frankly, once conceded that “climate change is crap” It struck me recently that the crank-like approach to climate change may have helped some big businesses in the short term, but may well cause blowback for their goals as reality sets in.
