They can be both. I'm committed to liberalism but I'll never stop arguing for the best way to achieve equal rights & freedoms.

I don't believe in anything apart from that which I think is defendable. Often makes me a liberal, sometimes not.

I think we all feel that way. I tend to find I can only defend things which benefit human rights & freedom.

I mean, who says ' I believe in the indefensible'? All genuine ppl are just doing the best they can &articulating it imperfectly

you've hit on a rather big problem there. Plenty of (perhaps all to lesser or greater extents) people aren't genuine.

that's why we need systems to expose those types as best we can. Democracy is as good as we've got will always be.

Yes, I think so too. More effort needs to be made to get ppl to inform themselves better & think more critically.

if there's one "set in stone" idea I have, it's that democracy is always superior to any alternative.

but plenty disagree with that too, & not just the "bad" guys. It's all a massive palaver really isn't it.

Yep. We're in danger of losing secular, liberal democracy
