Whenever reality meets liberalism, reality wins every time!
As I tend to reply to pannings of “liberalism” — this is faux liberalism. Liberalism has an older classic history as the freedom of the quest to identify truth and beauty. It stood in opposition to dogmatism and believed that truth and beauty would defend themselves. Modern “liberalism” has turned into a new dogmatism which isn’t even honest like the old dogmatism was. It tells us that we have to cram our minds into some little strained corner with no regard to larger context.
