In reply to the discussion: Meet The Brogressive, Your New Worst Enemy [View all]daredtowork
(3,732 posts)Libertarian "market rate solutions" Brogrammers and profiteering condo developers who seek to exploit the housing crisis have joined forces to make profiteering look "environmental". Their lobbying groups are recruiting from "hackerspaces" and "net neutrality" groups. I've started to see their articles in quasi-progressive vehicles like Vox. If NIMBY is in the title and the comments are full of trolls hurling bile at "the old", you know you're dealing with Brogressive infiltration. Bonus points if they quote Machiavelli or Ayn Rand.
Because Brogressives are sponsored by mega campaign donors (big tech, real estate industry), you also see your ostensible political representatives treating them as "the public" and "the young", and politicians work directly with lobbying groups to bus them in from 3 cities away to astroturf public meetings.
Brogressives suck.
