Is liberalism obsolete?

Parts of what might be called the "liberal order" are in trouble, for sure, and have been for years. But I find it hard to take much interest in the words of a guy who has been in power for 19 years. When he holds a proper election, and journalists stop dying, I'll come back and type a longer answer.Comment

You said;Originally posted by Old Greg View PostYou are listing a subset of people who someone might disagree with. That is not the same as all people who someone disagrees with.
HTH
i.e. nobody does that in the mind of OG...Originally posted by Old GregI'm trying to think of anyone who does that
Then, I provided some examples of some people doing exactly that, to disprove your implied statement.
That's why I bolded "I'm trying to think" and told you THAT was your problem.
It wasn't that people don't do it, it's just that you can't think (or use google apparently)

It's not hard to appeal to the masses who are a fed up with fanatical liberals and leftists calling anyone who disagrees with them a nazi/racist etc. This is why Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan and other 'alt right' figures are so popular. Vlad knows exactly how to exploit this.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostI'm trying to think of anyone who does that. I disagree with Vince Cable, but I wouldn't call him a Nazi or racist.
Sound like Alt right political correctness to me. Trying to shut down debate and free speechOriginally posted by Bean View PostYour issue has been bolded.
To save everyone some time, here;
Trump supporters called Nazis
Jordan Peterson called Nazi
Looks more like 'the left' are attempting to stifle debate via labelling those they disagree with, Nazis...
(and your alt right comment is disproven by the examples above btw)
Perhaps you will learn how to use google at some point.Where did you provide an example of some people who call anyone who disagrees with them a nazi/racist etc? As opposed to calling some people who disagree with them a nazi/racist etc.Originally posted by Bean View PostYou said;

Exactly what kind of evidence (and what format) did you have in mind, that could persuade you?Originally posted by Old Greg View PostWhere did you provide an example of some people who call anyone who disagrees with them a nazi/racist etc? As opposed to calling some people who disagree with them a nazi/racist etc.

It must not be happening and there must be some other cause to the effect, repeatedly posted by Jog On;
Time and time again, they have been barracked by people trying to shut down their speech/make their speech worthless by aggressive false labelling. Correlation is not necessarily = to causation yes, but it's reasonably obvious (to most) after the Cathy Newman interview, that he (JP) has a principled position and is obviously not a Nazi...Originally posted by Jog OnThis is why Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan and other 'alt right' figures are so popular.

by all means people can bury their heads in the sand again, and that's why Trump 2020 will no doubt shock them, again.Originally posted by Old GregI admit I'm just a lazy, lying cretinous hypocrite and must be going deaf♕Keep calm & carry on♕Comment

First things first. Havre you accepted that all you did was post evidence that some people called Trump supporters Nazis and call JP a Nazi, and this does not constitute evidence (let alone proof) that there are fanatical liberals / leftists who are calling anyone who disagrees with them a Nazi or racist?Originally posted by Bean View PostExactly what kind of evidence (and what format) did you have in mind, that could persuade you?

That is implied in my post, thought you would have been able to comprehend that.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostFirst things first.

For the avoidance of doubt, yes.

Hang on a minute. In what way does evidence that some people call Trump supporters Nazis constitute evidence that some people call anyone who disagrees with them a Nazi?Originally posted by Bean View PostThat is implied in my post, thought you would have been able to comprehend that.

Why do you care about this point so much?Originally posted by Old Greg View PostHang on a minute.

I had let it go, but Bean is back with his inability to understand sets and subsets, so it's fun to watch a cretin dig himself into a logical fallacy hole. Next up, maybe he'll hide behind an accusation of pedantry to try to deflect from his error. Who knows?Originally posted by Jog On View PostWhy do you care about this point so much?Comment
