QUESTION ASKED: Is Contemporary Liberalism Creating a Soulless Monoculture?
I’m not sure if “soulless” is the right adjective, as the left is perfectly fine with those who claim to be privately religious, as long as they go along with abortion, gay marriage, gender-neutral restrooms, etc. Not to mention all of the white light alternative spirituality cults that usually lean pretty far to the left. But this passage from Mark Judge of Acculturated is certainly spot on:
We’ve witnessed the a slow and steady debasement of our politics and popular culture—see, for example, those “man on the street” interviews where Americans can’t name who won the Revolutionary War. Enter the unelected bureaucrats who appoint themselves to steer the ship; in other words, we’re liberals and we’re here to help. Inspired by the idea that to be against them is to be “on the wrong wide of history,” both communism and contemporary liberalism demand absolute submission to the progressive plan. All resistance, no matter how grounded in genuine belief or natural law, must be quashed.
