That doesn't support your position at all. Liberals have a narrow dogma centred on private ownership, and reject any ideas that conflict with it.
How about we take a break, you read what you posted, then we cycle back? Pay special attention to the paragraph you wrote that starts with “when threatened by populism”.
Perhaps take your own advice, actually try to understand what I said, and then get back to me if you have an actual point to make.
What part of my original comment displayed a dogmatic adherence “liberal” ideology?
All that private property I didn’t mention? Or was it something else?
Understanding what liberal ideology stands for is key for understanding why liberals are becoming an insular cult now that the ideology is in a crisis. This is precisely the point I'm making here regarding the threat of populism:
Liberals see both right and left wing populism, which is another term for the democratic will of the majority, as a threat to their core ideology of private ownership. Hence why liberals lash out whenever seeing sources they consider to fall outside the approved liberal Overton window.
Dude, that has no bearing on my comment whatsoever. Just admit you just use “liberal” as a general purpose insult without thinking and move on.
I tried having a discussion with you in good faith, and put effort into explaining my position. In response, I got predictable trolling. Bye.
