This is a blog post, not an argument.

It really doesn't amount to much more than "I choose to call this behavior 'liberal.' Therefore, any criticism I levy against that behavior can be levied against anything else I call 'liberal.'"

You'll get more upvotes in /r/conservative than you will anywhere else. This just ain't rigorous thinking. It's really not much more than a well-to-do white dude whining and trying to name drop Popper for legitimacy as is, sorry.

edit: if you can answer the following questions, there might be a discussion in there somewhere:

  1. What is your definition of "intolerance"? "Tolerance"?

  2. What is your definition of "liberalism"?

  3. Explain why you feel justified in claiming that "certain liberal values have achieved hegemony," and why you think that's a bad thing.

Did you consider the diagnosis “well-to-do white dude” to be rigorous thinking? Just looks like racism to me. It’s also a bit odd that you’d project that upvotes is the end he seeks in a philosophy sub. That “ain’t” rigorous thinking either. You should do some introspective analysis sometime there Pascal.
