I love honest liberals.
They tend to be the sentimental ones.
It’s the intellectuals who are dishonest.
And they have to be. Fundamentally leftism is kleptocratic. It’s thievery.
But it’s pretty hard to chastise civil people who simply want to take care of everyone.
I just don’t want them to empower their intellectuals. Who are, in a word, crooks.

” … the most improper job of any man, even saints … is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity”
– JRR to Christopher Tolkein

Well, I”m glad we have enough empirical evidence now that we can state the obvious;
1) Libertarians are the least emotive and most rational segment of the ideological triangle.
2) Libertarians are the highest IQ segment of the ideological triangle.
3) Libertarians really do put liberty first and foremost at all times.
What Haidt doesn’t get to is this:
4) Libertarians are the most economically literate segment of the ideological triangle.

“The Great California Exodus”
1) Density. People flee density. Despite the desires of urban planners.
2) Unemployment. People flee to opportunities.
3) Uncertainty: The government cannot provide essential services, and tax hikes are imminent.
They forgot: 4) LA is a few points of pretty amidst a sprawling slum.
