The harm principle

Posted at 1.30pm UK time

Liberalism is by far the most elitist political ideology. Its adherents assume that the entire population subscribes to their superior and enlightened worldview, which is why it creates the perfect conditions for cancel culture: the unenlightened brutes who don’t hold progressive views deserve to be cast aside from the public conversation.

This leads to an inadvertent sneering at the working class.

Liberalism is also more likely to cede authority to the technocrats who were moulded in its Universities (see liberals’ childish adoration of Doctor Fauci).

The era in which liberalism is the default moral position must end. It is far from harmless. Its endgame is far more elitist and tyrannical than most people care to admit.
