Excited to be here at Mastodon
Am an opinionated world traveller with interests in travel, movies, environment, society, naturopathy, naturism, politics and all that is associated.
Looking to interact with like minded fellow travellers around here and also looking at calling out hypocrisy where it needs to be called out.
Must confess: I am not a Liberal! I believe in people and I believe in doing what's right. I believe people know wants best for them and no one need tell anyone else how to lead their life, what to say, how to behave.
I am very open to friendly debates on any topic that I know about. The rest I leave to the judgement of more intelligent others. 😊
Please engage for a better world.
@writetome Hi! Maybe I don't get the definition of liberalism or there may be some differences between America and the rest of the world when it comes to it, but I'd say that people knowing what is best for them and no one telling anyone how to lead their life is close to what I understand as liberalism.
Welcome to mastodon 😄
And you are quite right too. Albeit, in my humble opinion, the definition that you mention is what I grew up believing too. Today, however, I find myself believing that that definition no longer describes those in the current era who send identify as Liberals.
To me, today's Liberals seem to be radicals who believe it's only their way. They would go to any length to ensure that differing opinions are firmly shut out of public & private discourse.
I find it difficult to identify myself with this modern definition of Liberalism.
It's a pleasure to be here. 😊
