Whatever you say about "liberals" from the 20th century, in general they defended the right of others to disagree with them. The main exception toward the end of the century was intolerance toward certain white racial views and criticism of certain "special" demographic groups (though even the ACLU used to defend the right of alleged "neo-nazi's" to hold parades and rallies).
Today, as we all know, its "liberals" leading the call for censorship, blacklisting, persecution, imprisonment, and even physical attacks on almost anyone they consider to be "farther right" politically then they are. The Tiananmen Square-esque outrage the world witnessed in recent days in Canada has not surprisingly been cheered on by many ground level liberals not just the media and globalist ruling class. Thats just one of the latest examples. Suffice ot to say, a majority of today's self avowed "liberal" activists support any silencing or attack on those with different social and political views.
So how did we get here? How did "liberalism" go from free speech, political diversity, and a do-your-own-thing screw the establishment attitude to this?
While the answer is complex and multi-facited, and could be discussed ad nauseum, the simplest answer it that today's "liberals" feel powerless in the face of the dehumanizing changes of the post-industrial world.
While patriots and populists direct their feelings of powerlessness toward the establishment and globalist institutions, the "liberal" today directs his feelings of helplessness and alienation toward those opposing the institutions of power and control. The false sense of "morality" in hating those who are different is worked up by the pseudo-elite who run the power structure to work up support for ever more extreme repression against the "bad people" who dare to question the official narrative. The system is "liberal" therefore its good and moral so those opposing the system are bad and less than human and don't deserve rights.
