STYLE GUIDE: Calling David Koch is philanthropist is like calling Nero a violin player.
He gave away a fraction of the money that should have gone to taxes and the permanent damage he did to the planet and humanity. You don't focus on the soccer fields Pablo Escobar built for the neighborhood kids.
The Kochs funded a massive assault on the first black president under the guise of caring about the deficit. They then helped deliver the Senate to a white nationalist who exploded the deficit more than any previous president. Because it's a game to avoid taxes & pollute for free
All of us live but few us will live on in the perpetual droughts, floods and misery you've helped doomed humanity to forever. Farewell, Dave Koch.
The thing that unites white nationalists and libertarians -- besides actual racist beliefs, often -- is the conviction that unearned privilege is the most precious thing on earth and must be defended with the sort of overwhelming force we actually need to save the climate.
