Liberal refers to a spectrum of ideas centered around the freedome of the indivitual and not a political agenda, if you are left you certainly believe in liberal ideas even if you don't realize it and that doesn't make you neo/market liberal which is probably what you mean. The stupidity of that comment originates from the fact that the idea of human races is racist tho and he doesn't seem to realize that flaw at all!
Biologically, there are no humans races actually. The genetic difference is not large enough to define a race.
Socially, it's a critical aspect of our history, yes.
True, in the context of "I'm not racist" and with a "but" it's strange and definitely shouldn't be used like that tho. The comment is ether right wing and really dumm or tries to frame liberal ideas as racist and sexist wich wouldn't be any smarter!
I mean centering the freedom of the individual is very much a political agenda in any capacity, but especially the implementations of that agenda liberals support.
I'm not even opposed to the freedom of the individual; freedom of the collective certainly requires freedom of the individuals in that collective to live, act, communicate, and think, amongst other things. Liberalism in all its forms does not respect the freedom of the individual when that freedom is inconvenient for capitalists, or more generally capitalism as a system.
The idea of liberalism as a "neutral" or non-ideology based solely on "following the facts" to their "logical conclusion" without any additional subjective assumptions needs to be unceremoniously rejected [1] wherever it rears its ugly head. Similarly, the idea that capitalism is a neutral, natural phenomenon that spontaneously arises when people are free is needlessly prescriptive at best and completely wrong at worst, so similarly must be rejected unceremoniously.
Liberalism requires strong, unrealistic assumptions about how people work for its arguments to hold any water. Coincidentally, just a coincidence I swear, liberal policies based on these assumptions just happen to overwhelmingly benefit the people in power, specifically capitalists and the liberal politicians who broker their power. It is unthinkable that these unrealistic assumptions could be deliberately chosen to lead to the conclusions that capitalists want to brainwash people into accepting peacefully.
No, I mean liberal in all its costumes. All of them. Liberals deserve no charity for their arguments because they so quickly lend their voices to people who least of all are in need, particularly of a mouthpiece. Coincidentally, just a coincidence for sure, definitely no relation, liberals are always the loudest voices in the room screaming that we should make no changes for those who are most in need.
[1] For example, we would unceremoniously reject the idea that "the Sun doesn't exist in any form" because it obviously contradicts the lived experiences of everyone. Difference is, there isn't a powerful group of people who would benefit from people believing that.
I’m a lefty and most certainly don’t believe in liberal ideas. I’ve seen how they fucked up my country over the years, yet people keep voting for them. It’s insane. Granted, liberals are the right wing of politics over here (with only proto-nazis and hardcore racists to the right of that).
