2017/08/13: What happened today (not Charlottesville)...
but a small part of the same insidious process.

In a Business Insider article published yesterday, http://www.businessinsider.com/silicon-valleys-liberal-bubble-has-burst-2017-8, journalist Steve Kovach characterized me as "far right."

I contacted Mr Kovach by Twitter and email, after reading his article, indicating that such a characterization was both false and unwarranted. The full exchange (which culminated in the article's revision, albeit without apology or explanation) is captured in this video, along with some of my thoughts on the matter, and on my supposed identification with the alt-right (or the right in general).

Kovach's revised article describes me, at my insistence, as a "classic British liberal," a political philosophy whose traditional aims (according to historian Walter L.
