Attempting to discredit trusted orgs like NPR is a long beloved conservative tactic

I’m not Admiral Patrick of the former dubvee.org I just play along to waste the time of those who believe they are successfully harassing him.

You’re falsely linking two different things, Freakonomics never connected the superpredator myth to abortion, just crime.
It’s also disingenuous to imply that Stephen Dubner (a libertarian) could speak for the views of every single NPR affiliate. It doesn’t work that way.

Where is the instance that autobans any account that users have downvoted X times? /s
You’re correct where it counts (not Roman at all) but it was around before Italian Fascism:
It was during the period of the French Revolution that the gesture was invented by revolutionary republicans who framed their politics as a revival of the Roman republic.


Oh yeah, to be clear I don’t think Freakonomics is worth listening to, but trying to draw a link between the views of a single host and community funded media at large is not honest.
