I love takes like this. They're so creative. It's like taking a Lego Wakanda set and building a Turing-complete computer out of it.
Deep cut bit or display of uniquely American political incoherence?
Shut the fuck up! I HATE all of these political illiterates! Yes, libertarians and neoliberals would criticize Nixon. But not because he was left wing, but because he was the last Liberal president before the Neoliberal turn. These libertarians were criticizing Nixon for the same reasons Obama, rightly, said "I am to the right of Nixon".
Outside? What's that? Is it where the chicken tendies come from?
oh, well if ROTHBARD said it, it must be fucking true
i mean i don't know why a self-described socialist, even a republican one, would bother reading the drivel in the libertarian forum, but such is the power of the American Mind :galaxy-brain:
This reads more like he's making fun of Rothbard for having an awful take than anything else
Real big Animal Farm "communism doesnt work cause of this story I made up" vibes.
Nixon tried to introduce a UBI bill, but was talked out of it. iirc https://thecorrespondent.com/4503/the-bizarre-tale-of-president-nixon-and-his-basic-income-bill/173117835-c34d6145
