When ever I read an article of yours I have so many disagreements I barely know where to begin. But I thought I would just mention two things. First, you are pretty accurate about the fundamental difference between the way liberals view humans as malleable and conservatives don’t, although naturally I think the extrapolation into conservatives being uncaring is stupid. But I if I was going to take issue with one main line of reasoning which runs through this article as well as most of the other articles you write, is the idea that right wing extremism comes out of a purely economic place. Ridiculous. In Germany the Communist threat, Berlin’s Sodom and Gomorrah like state, and the loss of German territory that still possessed many Germans living as persecuted minorities within them, we’re at least as big factors as the economic difficulties.
