I disagree with this. Illiberalism is the problem with any social problem. But this could come down to definitions. https://www.wsj.com/articles/theres-no-such-thing-as-an-illiberal-1501874893 …

But I think the way to address this is to point out that they are being illiberal rather than reject concept of liberal & illiberal views.
-
I know that sometimes concepts slide & the right thing to do is give up on them & relabel or just describe the values they once described.
-
I was reluctant to abandon 'feminism' & wanted to reclaim it for the aim for gender equality. But I don't think we're there with liberalism.
-
In fact, many on the hard-left who were so badly skewing the understanding of it are now rejecting it & lumping liberals with conservatives.
-
It makes me happy when the radicals & identitarians explicitly state that they are not liberals.
-
But, as I said, a lot of this cld be semantic differences, often national ones. Obviously, I don't think liberalism is defined by America.
-
I think an understanding of liberalism as forcing a specific set of 'liberal' values onto everyone is a misunderstanding of it.
-
A large part of it is an agreement to let people live by their own values & express them providing they're not harming anyone else.
