Who decided that it was "sinful" to be "racist"?
Who decided that it was "sinful" to say or think anything negative about gays?
Who decided it was "sinful" to say or think anything negative about trans?
Who decided it was "sinful" to say or think that women have a different role to men?
Why? Why can't we say or think these things?. No where in the bible does it say any of this is a sin. Quite the opposite. So who decided they were to be "sins"?
Even here we have rule 15 and rule 16. Why the fuck do we have rule 15 and rule 16?
it really depends on the core moral philosophy that you base these items on. most liberals attempt to live by one common moral philosophy: "be kind to others".
applying this philosophy, it's easy to see why things from racism to gender roles can be considered bad. in some cases it is demeaning another individual on the basis of an immutable trait, while in other cases is forcing a lifestyle onto an individual that may not want it.
of course, most political leftists also subscribe to this philosophy: "there are no bad tactics, only bad targets". this philosophy allows them to ignore the philosophy of being kind to others so long as it suits the political objective.
Liberals live by no such principle save in the lies they tell themselves. They do so explicitly so they can blithely ignore the incalculable victims of leftist policies, including the people that they all seek to turn into tax chattel.
you are confusing liberals with leftists, which is a pretty common mistake especially in the United States. it doesn't help that right wing media keeps using liberal as a catch-all term for Democrat voters.
There is no meaningful difference between them.
A liberal is a leftist is a socialist is a communist. They're all shit, and while some might want to make differentiations between the texture, color or viscosity of one kind of shit from the other, all I need to know about shit is that I don't want it on my shoes. Nuance is unnecessary when dealing with shit.
that's some crusaders fallacy shit right there. especially in a battle of ideas, it is important to be able to accurately represent the ideas of your opposition so that you can properly counter it.
socialism and communism are extremely anti-liberal. many people who call themselves liberals can more accurately be described as socialist or communist because they are fixated on results and not method.
The reason why we are mixing liberal and leftists is because leftists control the media and all the other institutions. They are the ones that have shifted what it means to be a liberal, what was once a liberal value, colorblindness is now a far-right talking point. This was not done by any right wing media.
Liberals at the end, are not even true believers in kindness, they are just grandstanding moral values to feel superior to others. The more I talk to liberals the more I realize that they have no value other then "being liberal". I've watched my friends turn from "freedom of speech" to we must control "speech", from government and corporations are the enemy to the government is good and we need more taxes and corporations are somehow both their allies and their enemies. From pro-borders to anti-borders.
They did not change because the data changed, they changed because the definition of liberal changed and all they know is they are liberal, they are the "kind ones", "the smart ones", the virtuous. The rest are just details they need to fill in in order to belong.
You can tell I'm correct when they care more about slavery 100 years ago then slavery today, they care more about virtue signaling on climate then facts on climate, same with COVID, they still burry their head in the sand while they got boosted and even vaccinated their kids just to show how much they trust the science.
True liberals no longer identify as liberals, that what happens when someone controls the definition.
I don't play their games, and if the past 4 years have taught me anything it's that they can redefine anything they want, but that doesn't make it true. if you accept their redefinitions, you play into the Orwellian dystopian future were your kids won't even be able to think about opposition because a word for it doesn't exist.
