Read stories written before 1960. Almost everything after is tainted by liberalism. You could make the argument that the cutoff should a lot earlier but start there.
I came to the realization that fiction itself is a liberal/romantic concept. Where the author creates a false reality which is a form of wish fulfillment or exploration of some abstract imaginary concept. The purpose of which is to distract the audience from their real lives.
The converse is doing a kind of work that makes our physical reality better, whether through paid labor, entrepreneurship, or charity.
