So shortly after the 2016 election, I pointed out how odd it was that the Reason homepage was dominated by stories either mocking and ridiculing the left for being fearful of what was to come, or articles about how Trump might actually be good for libertarians.https://twitter.com/radleybalko/status/798549880780234752 …

Radley, you know you're full of shit, right? We have a range of opinions at Reason, as you well know. But -- apparently unlike you -- we don't go all-in for one of the big political cults. We're skeptical of anybody who would use and abuse government power. That used to be you.

You seem really upset that we're not embracing the Biden administration, and that we were insufficiently critical of the Trump administration.

Or, at least, that's your interpretation.

I don’t care about the Biden administration. I do think Trumpism is uniquely dangerous, especially now. And I think too many libertarians have been pretty dismissive of how unique a threat this administration has been.

I don't even think that Trump is uniquely dangerous, just a weird version of normal horrific, and I still will never understand the aggregate Reason focus on college kids and liberals being dumb.

Considering how many institutions those folks now control, I think there's good reason to give them attention. But Reason has enough writers to cover many topics.

But the idea that college protest or rabble rousing is all the same, and the same level of anti-freedom is just weird.

"rabble rousing" is covering a lot of territory here knocking over goal posts after a football game is different from Cultural Revolution mob tactics pressuring administrators to fire professors for being left wing but INSUFFICIENTLY left wing I don't worry about athletic gear

Almost said I stop listening at Nazi, Cultural Revolution, Great Terror, and struggle session. Which might be a personal problem.
