and the same for conservatism ('illiberlism' as you call it). It can't tolerate liberalism.

@aoksimpson No. We ( or I - I shouldn't assume ur view) must oppose authoritarianism. Not same as conservatism. Far left is illiberal too.1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

but to work, liberalism has to be universal, no? So is therefore authoritarian to those that can't accept it?

That's the paradox. The only way to prevent ppl from forcing their views on others is by force. Prosecuting them.

so then liberalism isn't really liberal at all. It depends on if more people benefit than don't. And screw the ones that don't

Its a system in which ppl can apply own values to own life & let others do the same. Yes, screw those who'd impose on others.

If you can't live according to your own beliefs w/out forcing others to do the same, you will be removed from a liberal society

Replying to @HPluckrose
but you are forcing others to do the same by imposing liberalism. And how would you recommend removing them?

If a religious person forces me to live by my beliefs or I force them to live my mine, we can be prosecuted. Imprisoned even.
