      I remember a conversation we had once. We can push our liberal values in some way. It's a bit of a paradox. Think speech, abortion etc.

      Pushing anyone to say or not say anything, to have or not have abortions is not liberal. No-one is pushed by other ppl having same choice.

      True. But we base laws on them. Example: man is conservative, woman liberal. Woman wishes not to keep baby. Man does. Law agrees with her

      Free speech: person is to endure what is said to him/her I agree with these things. Yet, I can see how this can feel like it's pushed on ppl

      Though I think we think of liberal more as the ppl representing the label, than label representing the ppl. If that makes sense.

      Yes, we do. That's essentially what I'm addressing. If liberal values are being imposed on you, liberals have become illiberal.

      Yes. Don't get me wrong. I agree with your point. Considering the no of ppl claiming the label, yet reject the core values.

      I've just been thinking that no -ism can really escape pushing their values on others in some way.

      Only in the sense that people have to see others living according to them if they engage with society.

      Yes. The more they interact, the more this will happen. If you're not a liberal, you don't agree with these values. Yet you must accept

      But this burden is also on liberals who have to see conservative views all over the place. 5 churches in my town. Billboards & notices.

          In a liberal society, everybody is pushing their views on each other in this sense but alternative is one view imposed on everyone.

          The terms liberal & conservative have come to mean many contradictory things. For many they are tribal labels, not coherent sets of ideas.

          So it’s important to define your terms (and continually remind folks when they try to cast you as saying something you’re not).

          Yes. Yet we choose this because we think this is the best way. Some ppl don't agree.

          Course not. They want their own view imposed on everyone. None of those people are liberal.

          Exactly. And when a society is mostly liberal, those ppl can claim liberal views are being pushed on them.

          But that doesn't make any sense unless, as I said, they mean 'my right to impose my values on others is being prevented.'

          It is. I know this sounds ludicrous to us. But not all believe in liberty for all. Not truly. We make rules as a society. What is & what

          I know they don't. But they cannot say that liberty is forced on them when their right to deny themselves any rights or freedoms remains.

          It's not about just themselves. Not all are as focused on the individual as us. Conservatives focus more on the community.

          Which is why I started by saying when they say values are imposed on them, they're usually talking abt other ppl's rights not their own
