I think i wasn't looking when i quoted :"> meant to quote
is that clearer, or was it the rest of it equally bad It was a bit of a stream of consciousness type post.Say what you want, the death penalty sure deters those who would murder again.
I agreed whole heartedly with what that guy said about liberalism up until the point he mentioned corruption, then it gets a little biased i think. Liberalism imo represents a purifying of standards, freeing them from traditional prejudiced or uneducated bias. yes this may constitute a destruction of values imposed by religion, for me that makes perfect sense in a secular society, as for removing constraints imposed by family, community and morality, I'm not 100% sure i understand what this means so i can't really argue, though the removal of moral values sounds intriguing.Liberalism moves, therefore, toward radical individualism and the corruption of standards that movement entails.
"By destroying the traditional social habits of the people, by dissolving their natural collective consciousness into individual constituents, by licensing the opinions of the most foolish, by substituting instruction for education, by encouraging cleverness rather than wisdom, the upstart rather than the qualified.....Liberalism can prepare the way for that which is it's own negation:
The artificial, mechanized or brutalized control which is a desperate remedy for it's chaos."
Liberalism for me is all about change, sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better, but imo its the only way society will progress. Obviously theres a balance to be struck, if you try and change too fast you'll be in the shit just as much as if you change too slow.
