The 2016 election – ecstatic and wild. This particular election for America’s presidency might be the most stupendous of the West’s political elections. I believe we have seen two vast opposites attempt to strike each other down with successes, persuasion and satire. Donald Trump is an unusual character, but full of frankness and splendid bluntness. Hilary Clinton is, of course, a well-experienced character, but with a reckless history.
The degradation of liberal philosophy sprouts like an eruption from a mountain; with volcanic ash spreading into the minds of sanctimonious, sycophantic, wannabe hippies. Such degradation is not arising from the opposing right, but from regressives who, in all facets of contradiction, describe themselves as progressive and liberal. I have criticised the regressive, SJW left a few times already, and so have other influential speakers and writers, but I can never have less to say.
What we are witnessing in the 21st century is a liberal crisis. It is a civil war within the left of political philosophy; a fight between true liberals who comprehend the official values of liberalism versus the hypocritical, unsophisticated and ingenuous self-indulgence of the regressive left. They feel so inclined to uphold the title of liberal, but display contradiction in their approaches to social justice by attempting to silence those who differ in thoughts on social issues. |
