    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:

      When threatened by populism, liberalism readily abandons its political ideals in favor of preserving the capitalist economic system. Liberalism ultimately serves as a mask for capitalism, concealing its exploitative nature behind a facade of individual freedom and democracy.

      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.
