We must also consider where we source our definitions from. The IEA is a right-wing think tank. They have a vested interest in promoting certain points of view.

We must also consider where we source our definitions from. The IEA is a right-wing think tank. They have a vested interest in promoting certain points of view. And to portray those opposed to them in certain ways.

- willcipriano 4y agoFirst one that I found and it matches with my education. Happy to use any other you provide, but liberalism as a concept isn't something only occupied by the left wing even though they tend to be conflated.
- bena 4y agoIt's really the portrayal of "cultural leftism" that leaves something to be desired. It's framed in such a way to make "cultural leftism" seem not only more paternalistic than they would describe their goals but to portray the issues facing minorities as more abstract and ephemeral than they actually are. I notice how you only focus on the defensible definition as if the conflation of liberalism with some conservative goals could be the only objection to your post.
