Not a big fan of unearned privilege and abuse of power / wealth.
Sadly, Samuel Johnson's observation on "patriot" politicians is becoming increasingly relevant.

The Vinland Map's not the only thing some people have been profiting from through misinformation:

@Beornagainn @RBReich My first sentence didn't have a ? at the end.

[David Bradbury @Vinlandmapinfo]

@Beornagainn @RBReich Sentences with a ? at the end are questions, not conclusions.

@afneil Basic problem with a strict two-term limit, much like a 30mph speed limit- it's perceived as the norm rather than just the maximum.

@DouglasKMurray Who needs a Far Right when we've got the Telegraph and the Mail?

@monatanapadre @RBReich Andrew Mellon and his children made very smart use of the tax system, particularly deductions for donations to good causes, to maintain their wealth. Did you know, for example, that Paul Mellon's donation of the Vinland Map to Yale was a tax scam?

[David Bradbury @Vinlandmapinfo]

@Beornagainn @RBReich For a start, he's a guy born in 1946, whose childhood coincided with an era in which the US gradually got better and better. Did the high tax rates then applicable to the richest help or hinder that process?

[David Bradbury @Vinlandmapinfo]

@mental_floss Not quite the truth. You've fallen for Yale's attempt to reclaim the narrative. John Paul Floyd's claims (including the proposal about the bookbinder's note) were made in 2013, prompting Yale's investigation, first results of which appeared in 2018 not 2021.

@craigwr42573037 @Juliest101 How do you know I wasn't just asking a general question because I admire your intellect?

@_wot_now_ @SyriangirlSimp @MailOnline I wonder if you understand what a concentration camp is (there's a clue in the name)?

@RKHodkinson @TomAdlam53 @gavinesler It's not "only in retrospect" if you study documents from the time, showing the progress in provision of weapons and defences. Britain was quite well prepared by the spring of 1939.

@afneil Why? Because it's not forbidden. And because the VP is, for different reasons, probably an even more divisive figure.
