That's an oxymoron.
- ouid 4y ago"Liberal" is an oxymoron. The social contract is not optional. We agree to be bound by rules because we prefer it to being by force, which is the default. Security is liberty, in the optimization sense.

- wk_end 4y agoNo it's not, because personal politics aren't pure embodiments of monolithic ideologies. It's a shorthand for a political perspective that incorporates aspects of both liberalism and leftism.
