To become a Christian all it basically requires is profession of belief and a few drops of water. In this I find Judaism which requires difficult and intensive study and also requires one to live ethically and question everything a stronger argument as a traditional culture. Obviously I’m not speaking of the extreme fundamentalist end of the spectrum.
I’m only a few minutes in but their arguments haven’t defined “Liberalism”. They’re fundamentally arguing against modern progressive ideology which isn’t remotely liberal. Liberalism AFAIK was originally defined as Enlightenment values. Civil liberties, economic liberalism. Neither of those fit their initial descriptions. They’re arguing against Leftist bureaucratic systems and wokeneess which are by definition illiberal. I’m not even necessarily disagreeing but they’re ignoring the third pathway - enlightenment which is not necessarily anti religion ot tradition it anti-feudalism and anti-dogmatic. IMHO anyway…
OK they’re kind of bringing that up a little later but it seems anti-individualist. Which is fine if you’re part of that traditional collective. Again I don’t necessarily disagree but I’m not in agreement either. Dogma is the death of reason. Fascinating as usual. I’ll keep listening…
