      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.

      But I'd rather keep my liberty & equal opportunity to without the cultural suicide. Hence, I'm a conservative.

      You're a liberal from my perspective. Many conservatives are.

      Even if I denounce liberal ideas like free will, voluntary association and individualism?

      Maybe not. In ways that matter. I don't know if free will exists or a self. I believe in the right to individuality.

          I'm a personalist, I reject there is something called "individual" which you can separate from your family or society.

          I think our individuality is part of us. So is our group ties & our shared humanity.

          Which I would refer to personhood, but not as individuality. Individuality assumes something that is indivisible, separate.

          Semantic differences then.

          Not really, if you're a liberal individualist, you view liberty as non-intervention while a personalist might agree with interventions.

          We have a semantic difference in that we're talking abt same thing using different words. Let's not argue definitions.

          I think semantics are very important, because it is the cause of miscommunication.

          Yes, but these are cleared up by establishing what the other person means and going from there.
