I hoped to find a discussion of the tension between the formulations of freedom in the "Cyberlibertarian" and "Left" viewpoints. But this article just asserts that because cyberlibertarianism doesn't agree with the Left it must be part of the Right Wing Conspiracy, knocking down a few straw men along the way.
- pessimizer 12y agoWhat does a quote frequently used to paint Hillary Clinton as paranoid have to do with either the Left or this article? It's notable that you use it in a sentence accusing others of setting up straw men.
- glenra 12y agoParanoia about the Koch brothers secretly controlling everything behind the scenes - or even their being particularly relevant and central to whatever specific political debate position you don't like - does seem like a direct modern descendant of the old "right-wing conspiracy" meme. Doesn't it? Hilary doesn't own a copyright on the phrase. Though if the parent post had included the word "Vast" you'd have more of a point. :-)
