[...] Every bit as bad as liberals, "libertarian" political operators are prepared to shed political blood over any imagined sign of bigotry.” MatterPoliticalTurnsFightingLeftBitsIssuesBloodGayPreparedProsperityLibertarianBigotryShedTurn-onLeftistsOperatorsWedgesFighting For Freedom Author:Ilana Mercer
“The strife of politics tends to unsettle the calmest understanding, and ulcerate the most benevolent heart. There are no bigotries or absurdities too gross for parties to create or adopt under the stimulus of political passions.” HeartPoliticalPassionPoliticsUnderstandingPartyBigotryAbsurdityStrifeGrossStimulusBenevolent Book:Character and characteristic men Source: Character and characteristic men
“the novel is inherently a political instrument, regardless of its subject. It invites you - more than invites you, induces you - to live inside another person's skin. It creates empathy. And that's the antidote to bigotry. The novel doesn't just tell you about another life, which is what a newspaper would do. It makes you live another life, inhabit another perspective. And that's very important.” PersonsImportantPoliticalLiteratureNovelSubjectsPerspectiveEmpathySkinsInstrumentsNewspapersBigotryInvitesAntidoteAnother Life Author:Barbara Kingsolver
