Illiberal = tolerant?
- pxeger1 5y agoIlliberal, as in not supporting human liberties, by tolerating the authoritarian Polish government. It confused me too.
- hammock 5y agoI'm still confused where they're asking for a pan-Europe government to step in and force a country to cede some of its sovereignty to it (the EU) and calling that liberal. That strikes me as slightly different than, say, a coalition breaking up a human rights-violating empire and RETURNING democratic sovereignty to its people.
- woah 5y agoThe USA stepped in to stop slavery and then later apartheid in the southern states. If they hadn't, I think we would think less of them.
