One of the dumbest statements from a very dumb, condescending post. SF is uber progressive. "Ayn Rand followers" are few and far between and, even then, very much in the closet.
- lightcatcher 10y agoWhere in the US do you think there is a greater density of "Ayn Rand followers"?
- jazzyk 10y agoNevada? Quite libertarian-voting in recent elections.
- Redoubts 10y agoAt the very least, I would look at states that elect self professed followers to Congress.
- ersii 10y agoI'm not sure about the density, but you'll definitively find some appreciators and libertarians in New Hampshire - considering the Free State Project.
- Noseshine 10y agoAdmittedly the parent post didn't add much to the discussion, but: > One of the dumbest statements from a very dumb, condescending post. I'm sorry, but I only got this impression once I got all the way down to your comment after reading the blog post. > SF is uber progressive. Is it really? Well, since "progressive" has seen some really weird changes in meaning in the US over time to one I cannot really recognize any more maybe you are right - using the current strange definition. If there is any at all, and the "left/right identifying words" are just thrown around unthinkingly.
