Liberalism is a counter philosophy which demonizes the strong and powerful.
It only works if they succeed in making you believe you’re weak, defenseless and dependent.

That's why I shall build a cruel empire where My word shall be law and I shall construct My gigantic skull throne upon the bones of millions, and My tetrahedral slave-made basalt pyramid shall be host to thousands of sacrifices a day. All shall look to My splendour and might in helpless despair. There shall be no thought but My thought, no action but that I will it, and humanity shall be an extension of My person until the stars themselves bow to Me and the gods bring tribute. Thus I speak.
I need a coffee first, though.

@SW-User I’ve read neither and don’t aspire to. I’m well aware of the philosophies of both parties and can see the logic in their actions.

@RippinKlouds this is no different than what a conservative would say.
Both sides want this. The approach to achieving it is where people argue

So Social Security and Medicare are just part of a plot to make us feel week and powerless? Civil
Rights was just to make Blacks and other minorities feel bad? I mean if they were strong not being blue to vote would not have even bothered them! And the fact that they suffered and demanded these rights just proves they were weak. (Apparently in GardebSage’s mind at least)

Liberalism is about normalizing the right wing and passifying the masses. This has been proven repeatedly by history.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow how so

@SW-User Well there are alot of factors. Chris Hedges does a brilliant bit on it in his book and speeches on "Death of the Liberal Class".
Basically liberals are the radical center. When the right makes extreme demands they always seek a compromise. The problem is the compromise is by definition always to the right of the starting point. If you are going off a cliff it does not really matter if you do it fast or slowly.
They also are the masters of the moral equivalency and giving each side the same treatment. Karl Schmitt who later became a nazi himself warned that the fascists would use liberal values like free speech as a tool to destroy the liberal democracy. Also historically when the shit hit the fan they often side with the fascists not the people. They usually stop supporting the people when there is more then an election to lose.
