Reply to Why liberals cannot escape intolerance by ThomasJP1983

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.
