Rutger Bregman is the Dutch historian who became a global sensation after an appearance at this year’s Davos summit, where he accused attending billionaires of ignoring taxation. Now he has created another viral moment in an extremely uncomfortable interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson.
Bregman so riled Carson with his accusations of hypocrisy, critiques of Fox’s conservative agenda, and attacks on Donald Trump that the TV host called him a “moron” and angrily told him: “Go fuck yourself.”
Lot more people around the world are going to watch this now than if it actually aired. Speaking truth to power is the best viral content!
The truth is too much hot take for devils to take
Rutger Bregman is the future by studying the past. What’s past is prologue. #taxation

AKA why the electoral college has gotta go.
though looking at the comments the folks who live in the red part think this is why the electoral college has got to stay. because they like getting 3.5 votes per capita.
Tyranny of the few is a pretty sweet deal if you belong to the few.
“Why should the coast’s vote count more?” BECAUSE THAT’S WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE AND THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A DEMOCRACY.

I love this campaign. All members of the LGBT community deserve to feel safe and that includes senior citizens
In general, though, regardless of orientation - ‘old people’ need affection too. Love doesn’t stop at age 60. Sex is still a thing in retirement homes. These feelings do not have expiration dates.

Sometimes I forget that homophobia is still very much present in developed countries. But seeing messages like this coming from all sorts of media, different mediums, oficial channels like BBC or some governmental Twitter account always gives me a boost of faith into social progress.
Getting better as a society is a gradual process and it is always going to be a struggle. But the knowledge that every little step in the right direction taken on a personal level can eventually amount to a societal norm shift gives me so much hope.
