COCKBURN LIBERALISM Cockburn looted the looting book Why subscribe to racist ideas like ‘you should pay for things that you want’?
Spectator USA ^ | 9/1/2020 | Cockburn

A few days ago, NPR’s Code Switch interviewed antifa agitator Vicky Osterweil about Vicky’s book, In Defense of Looting.

To call the interview ‘friendly’ would be a disservice, implying that NPR was favorable toward Osterweil from a sense of general benevolence. But that is not what the segment was. It was de facto propaganda

...

‘Looting strikes at the heart of property, of whiteness and of the police,’ Osterweil said. ‘It provides people with an imaginative sense of freedom and pleasure and helps them imagine a world that could be. And I think that’s a part of it that doesn’t really get talked about — that riots and looting are experienced as sort of joyous and liberatory.’

...

Surprisingly little chatter, is being had about Bold Type Books, the outfit that chose to spread Osterweil’s manifesto. Say what you will about NPR, but they were at least getting into the spirit of things by spreading Osterweil’s ideas to the world for free. Bold Type Books, on the other hand, wishes to take its cut. In Defense of Looting will cost a reader $25.76 on Bookshop....

So, to get into the spirit of things, Cockburn pirated a PDF of the book, which was surprisingly easy to do. He also fired off this email to Bold Type Books, Osterweil’s publisher, to ask how they’d feel if the public ‘looted’ their book:

Dear Sir or Madam,

We at The Spectator have successfully pirated a copy of In Defense of Looting from the internet. Beats paying for it! We’d like your permission to republish the entire book on our website free of charge as an easily downloadable or shareable PDF file — in order to spread the message far and wide. Assume that’s fine? Please let us know if not.

It looks like Vicky Osterweil has plagiarized Willie Osterweil .

Vickie is a he and should be called Victor. These trannies are really messed up in the head. Time to ship them to mental institutions.

I saw a reference in the article as "he" and thought it was a typo. Guess not:
