> discouragement of / being against...
I know lots of liberal elites, and don't know any who are actually against two parent households, kids after marriage, following the law, being drug-free, going to college for a career, etc
This is a ridiculous assertion.
But I know many of these same people who believe in not judging those who do not follow all of these ideals, and want systems in place that support, say, single mothers or whatever.
This is very different.
- steveBK123 4y agoA fair critique I would probably rephrase it as "questioning the value of" rather than "discouraging / being against" x traditional values. And yes, as these people age/mature it usually morphs more into - we should be much more supportive with systems in place to help single mothers, etc. Unfortunately there's limits to what the state can do to replace family, and there are good reasons to encourage people to not fall for the same pitfalls that trap them into cycles of poverty, no matter how much the state does to make that poverty less painful.
