How do new or even “radical” ideas become part of the body politic? The Overton Window provides a better way of helping us understand how things change.

Taxation is theft isn't in the overton window. Nor is anarchism.
Not yet, but they might be moving in from unthinkable to radical.
I hope so.
Overton window is a scam for clueless obedient shitizens.
And libertarians are such pussies...
FUCK THE LIBERTARIANS!
"Actually libertarians" Rose makes a distinction.
Do you sense that he's open to a reasonable dialogue?
LOL. Rose, yes. Darth... no. Just poking the bear a bit
I welcome the absolutists and the pragmatists
In most cases that I've seen the pragmatists are substantially less effective, which means they aren't really being pragmatic, they're just being the pussies that Rose labels them.
Well, you aren't wrong but I actually mean real pragmatic people that just want to be free but aren't going to cut off their own nose to spite the state. I fall into that category. Taxes are theft but I am not diluted enough to think facts will stop the thugs from putting me in a cage. I also don't go around calling everyone a statist cuck. Most don't even know what the state is. They think Thomas Massie is an extremist.
I would consider someone like Tom Woods a pragmatic person more so than Rose. But I like and find value in both. There need to be both types. You have people that slowly warm up to ideas and others that need to be shocked to wake up.
But, I think one of the worst things about humans is the "narcissism of small differences". Which is pretty much the libertarian movement.
Also common in most religions. It's a human trait.
I'm with you on all that. When Woods' faction took over the LP briefly, it was considered an extremist coup.
They aren't defending the Overton Window.
Most libertarians aren't part of the LP because they agree with Rose about the party being a bunch of pussies.
You are a pussy.
PERIOD.
LOL 🤣
"The Libertarians" as if that were an actual thing.
It’s interesting how understanding this helps predict which “radical” ideas could gain traction next. Power of framing is underrated.
