Penn Jillette was a writer for playboy, and Margret Atwood, Kurt Vonnegut, Roald Dahl

Like tons of famous autrhors.

Don’t forget your favorite kids poet, Shel Silverstein

Thanks, I knew I was forgetting one, my wife actually told me most of the list and I think she said him too.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ok, but Penn Jillette is a libertarian.

[–] academician@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but that means on social issues (like the trans rights) he is very "progressive".

He is, but that’s rare for libertarians. They tend to be conservatives who like weed

You clearly haven't read the platform of the Libertarian party. It's all about individual freedom, and it's a good platform.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I love individual freedom in general. But in my experience they tend to not be the most genuine about their beliefs in it. And I support ideas that they definitely dislike like taxation, collective action, business regulation, and Keynesian economic policy. Also I’ve struggled to take them seriously in part due to Gary Johnson being their most reasonable candidate.

I voted for Gary as he was the best candidate who ran that year. Too bad he didn't win, we would be in far better shape as a nation.
