Classically liberal perspective would be "how does this law help individuals now", not me specifically.
- jariel 7y agoI understand what you're saying, but I believe that the nature of the liberal argument ultimately boils down to some kind of personal self-actualization. The popularisation of almost any liberal policy usually takes the form appealing to the choice/freedom/egoism of the individual. Sometimes in a crude way. I should have used the third person impersonal 'one sees' not 'you see' as I didn't mean 'you' of course.
