I think Mr Hazony's conservatives who frame their support for human rights as liberalism do so quite consistently with the meaning of term.

The misuse of the term 'liberalism' by people who are, in fact, authoritarian & intolerant of different ideas is certainly a problem.

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.

The portrayal of liberalism you're responding to reminds me of the cries of 'dogmatic secularism!'
