No question, Liberalism is first, a narcissism that reflects only it's beholders. That it attracts, grows those inclined to meglomania, seems all to evident.
It IS a religion for those without; it is 'second' religion, for those who already claim one. And by it's premises; it is an evil, parasitical one. It attaches itself to platitudes and 'good will' and so moves forward. Left to it's own 'virtues' - alone - it is as helpless as it is hopeless.
There is a certain insanity among these liberal billionaires. Things that George Soros has done would drive a normal man insane with guilt but he does them without a twinge of guilt or a look back.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
— C. S. Lewis
