A few of the things that the Koch brothers have fought against: - Interventionist Wars - Militarization of the Police - Long sentences for non-violent crimes If you are celebrating David Koch's death you don't care about the issues. You are just brainwashed.

That’s not really true. There’s a wealth of reporting on their central role in climate change denial - and the fact that their “positions” were less about libertarianism/free markets and more about protecting their own fossil fuel profits.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/kochland-examines-how-the-koch-brothers-made-their-fortune-and-the-influence-it-bought/amp …
These aren't mutually exclusive. It's entirely possible to hold a self-serving "position" against global wars in part, perhaps in large part, because you don't want to be blown up. I don't see anything in that piece that defends the claim you're making.

Which claim? That they funded climate change denial? Or that they had fossil fuel interests to protect?

Also let’s be real: we’re not talking about holding just any position out of self-interest. I agree. That’s fine. We’re talking about spending massive amounts of money on propaganda that has had unconscionable impact.
