I'm not attacking you personally, but I do see how I was too harsh, please forgive me. I'm simply saying that your opinion isn't fully formed and you're slinging mud at an ideology you don't understand. Classical liberalism is a relatively mature system, and claiming that it's barely real—simply because you don't get it—is silly.
- dlivingston 5y agoI think parent's point is that, whatever "classical liberalism" means formally and historically, the label is typically used _today_ by people thought of as run-of-the-mill Conservatives (i.e., Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin, Brett Weinstein, etc.).
- rpmisms 5y agoAll three of those people are genuinely classical liberals, or at least aligned with them, and the fact that they're now considered mainstream conservatives is a huge victory, showing how the mainstream right is swinging towards libertarianism and away from the Reagan cosplay.
