Stolen word! They're nothing more than classical liberals. Libertarians are anarchists

He's a stultingly conventional conservative thinker. Presents nothing new or controversial. No idea what his appeal is for channers. A shared incapacity to handle nuance and complexity?

black rednecks and white liberals will change the way you look at african american culture, the weird thing is tho that after reading coates between the world and me crap i came to the realization that blacks are like urban hillbillies, although i'm sure this wasn't coates intentions, and then after reading sowell's research it turns out my intuition was correct

I like collecting hardbacks and I find them hard to get in Australia without importing them and I don't like paying a fortune for shipping.

I don't care too much for the race books, the economics ones and especially the ones about intellectuals are very much worth a read.

The American use of libertarian is different than its classical use, which is European.

Im in a rush so forgive the visual

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism

"The use of the word libertarian to describe a new set of political positions has been traced to the French cognate, libertaire, coined in a letter French libertarian communist Joseph Déjacque wrote to mutualist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in 1857.[20][21][22] Déjacque also used the term for his anarchist publication Le Libertaire: Journal du Mouvement Social, which was printed from 9 June 1858 to 4 February 1861 in New York City.[23][24] In the mid-1890s, Sébastien Faure began publishing a new Le Libertaire while France's Third Republic enacted the lois scélérates ("villainous laws"), which banned anarchist publications in France. Libertarianism has frequently been used as a synonym for anarchism since this time.[25][26][27]
The term libertarianism was first used in the U.S. as a synonym for classic liberalism in May 1955 by writer Dean Russell, a colleague of Leonard Read and a classic liberal himself. He justified the choice of the word as follows:
“ Many of us call ourselves "liberals." And it is true that the word "liberal" once described persons who respected the individual and feared the use of mass compulsions. But the leftists have now corrupted that once-proud term to identify themselves and their program of more government ownership of property and more controls over persons. As a result, those of us who believe in freedom must explain that when we call ourselves liberals, we mean liberals in the uncorrupted classical sense. At best, this is awkward and subject to misunderstanding.
Here is a suggestion: Let those of us who love liberty trade-mark and reserve for our own use the good and honorable word "libertarian".[28]"

Leo Strauss is the most important thinker of the past 60 years and he's a conservative. Have fun decoding the equivocations of a bunch of left wing narcissists seeking minor celebrity in the academic community rather than clear ideas.

>le same views as your republican dad but with melanin man
I am a conservative, but to pretend Sowell is anything but basic-tier high-school reading is wrong. Le based black man! is the sole reason he is bandied about so often.
