    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.

        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.

            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.

                I tried having a discussion with you in good faith, and put effort into explaining my position. In response, I got predictable trolling. Bye.
