I also have a few liberal friends(outside this forum) and we have discussed this shutting down of any discussion. by those calling themselves liberals. We all agree their (my friends) liberalism is more in line with classic liberalism. We can actually discuss and exchange ideas and even agree on issues every now and then. Not so with some who think of themselves liberals today.
I think what we see now in some people is not liberalism in play, but the radical left.
The left does not discuss, they slander and accuse. They do not seek compromise, they seek utter compliance.
Thoughts?
This is one of your best posts.
But do you really think it's us who shuts down conversation? I think it's you, who ignores legitimate criticisms, plugs your ears, and only answers what is convenient.
I'll happily admit to seeking compliance and not compromise on certain subjects. One of which is progressive human rights. As society progresses, we see a beautiful desire to achieve simple rights for everyone.
We don't talk about economics, which is arguably the only place a rift should exist. Instead, we are still stuck at square one: why is it okay for you to treat people the way you do?
