I've been pounding on this drum for years. I am happy to see that people are coming around.
Liberalism as an Instrument of Coercion
Rather than being what it began as, a “narrowly political strategy for living peacefully in a world of inexorably clashing comprehensive views of reality and the human good,” liberalism has for many become that comprehensive view of reality and the human good. Your neighbor’s ideas are no longer different. They are heretical. Liberalism could become the problem that it was intended to solve.
Right. That is why I call for a separation of leftism and state.
