Usually when someone accuses me of wanting to push liberal views on them, they mean I want to stop them imposing conservative ones on others

Coz my liberal perspective leads me to defend the rights of conservatives to express & live according to very conservative views.

If I were to genuinely try to impose my views on others, conservativism & religion & large sections of social justice activism wld be banned

That would be illiberal. Ppl calling themselves liberal but not applying this principle to their own values seem very confused to me.

It does prove liberalism is a self-eating monster. Liberalism is already retreating & replaced by conservative humanism or religions.

No, I don't think so. Liberalism in the sense of freedom & equal opportunities is the only thing that really works for everyone.

But it is also liberal and opportunistic towards the same people who wish to destroy it. From a memetic perspective, it is doomed to die.

So either liberals take a defensive stand (intolerance against intolerant, as Popper puts it) or they perish.
