Billionaire industrialist David H. Koch, who with his older brother Charles was both celebrated and demonized for transforming American politics by pouring their riches into conservative causes, died Friday at 79.

The cause of death was not disclosed, but Koch Industries said Koch, who lived in New York City, had contended for years with various illnesses, including prostate cancer.

    You are such a weird dichotomy. Hateful stupid garbage one minute, critical thinking freedom lover the next. Propaganda is a hell of a drug ruining more of our society than Fentanyl!

    PS: liberals don't hate all conservatives, just the anti-human ones. One of my good friends is a conservative ;)

    The weird dichotomy you speak of is American politics. The left isn't left, the right is less right than the left, identity politics pressures every group to hate every other group, on and on it goes.

    Me? I'm the moderate, remember? If one or more of my position seems crazy to you, it's probably because you're way out left, or way out right.
