Progressives face a particular challenge, to cast off a mentality that can too easily regard people as means rather than ends. For in this respect a movement is just like a person: it never entirely escapes its roots.

…Thatcher was a prime minister who denounced Nelson Mandela as a terrorist, defended the Chilean fascist dictator Augusto Pinochet, ratcheted up the cold war, and unleashed militarised police on trade unionists and black communities alike.
She was Britain’s first woman prime minister, but her policies hit women hardest, like Cameron’s today.
She was the most socially destructive prime minister of modern times.

Why libertarians must deny climate change, in one short take.
So here we have a simple and coherent explanation of why libertarianism is so often associated with climate change denial, and the playing down or dismissal of other environmental issues.
Libertarianism becomes self-defeating as soon as it recognises the existence of environmental issues. So they must be denied.

Hello there, nice to meet you.
I don't know about you but I find myself constantly on the prowl for new sources of creative inspiration, whether it's architectural plans, illustration, skateboarding videos, fashion, furniture design or some bizarre, niche technological advance.
If things go to plan, the most intriguing and exciting of these discoveries and some incredible, inspiring photography will wash up here, on the shores of Tumblr.
You can find my own photographic endeavours over on my blog which is located at www.wearehomegrown.co.uk
