- lostdog 6y agoCaplan is very right wing ("the homeless still smile!"). The talk was still okish, but the points of view come from one side and could use some balance. Blaming poverty on "impulsive sex" and leaving blameless the policies of limiting birth control and freedom of choice is a pretty myopic point of view.
- BurningFrog 6y agoCaplan is a libertarian. You'll never see anything like his pro open borders book from the right wing: https://www.amazon.com/Open-Borders-Science-Ethics-Immigration/dp/1250316960 https://www.amazon.com/Open-Borders-Science-Ethics-Immigrati...
- Broken_Hippo 6y agoA fair amount of libertarians are right wing. This is true even if one supports something or another that happens to not be stereotypically right wing.
- BurningFrog 6y agoBroadly, libertarians agree with the right on economics and the left on social issues.
