At the end of the day, almost all of us are liberals, unless we don’t believe that human right exist and should generally be respected, which like... what?pic.twitter.com/hUiCvkSJyU
The difference lies in what aspect of the liberal project you emphasize, and what aspects you’re willing to ignore—and what you’re willing to do to make the parts you care about actually happen.
A final addendum: both the “social justice” left and the alt-right consciously or unconsciously pose a challenge to liberalism insofar as they focus on the rights of groups or collectives rather than individuals.
Neither camp TOTALLY disregards human rights, but both camps argue that individual rights exist within a larger context of the rights of certain groups of individuals.
Of course, the “identity politics” that focuses on the rights of groups has existed forever, and in America has primarily benefitted whites, especially rich cishet white men. But today it’s becoming more conscious and explicit again.
Far from believing this challenge to liberalism represents a Grave Threat To All We Hold Dear, however, I think this is a potential area of growth for liberal ideology to develop into something that better suits our times:
A post-liberal ideology that recognizes the rights and legitimate interests that we inherit from our differences rather than from our common humanity.
