On July 12th, 2019, The LPDC was visited by Robin Koerner, libertarian author and strategist, who gave a talk entitled, “Weapons of Mass Persuasion”. Koerner talked at length about what libertarians get wrong while trying to persuade others in order to gain additional support and resources.
Very succinctly: Winning arguments, even using reason or logic, wins zero supporters. Phrasing pro-libertarian ideas using the exact terms of someone else’s established culture or mentality is much more successful.
Thanks Robin for the visit, and to Kevin Hale for setting it up!
