Why I stopped being a liberal
Not into any kind of virtue signalling, but I’ve been that typical edgy high-school teen for a good amount of my conscious life — deifying all those revolutions that have taken place to supposedly seize powers from the hands of the elites and the oppressors into truly transforming societies into people’s rule — where there’s no class divide, everyone’s got a shelter and food on his plate. Call it herd mentality as much you like but that’s how I and a ton of other college-goers were/are drawn into believing all this fakery.
Because anti-establishment looks cool. Because anti-elitism looks cool.
However the more one starts reading on stuffs that have led to the said revolutions and the consequences of the said revolutions — the more you'd expect people to distance themselves from the sham that is modern-liberalism — a disguised veil to platform some of the biggest ills caused by an ideology that's killed far more people than any of the world-wars and how it's done that without too many people batting an eye.
A pictorial manifest of modern, ideal liberalism. Of course, there haven’t been many women honor-killed for shedding this veil.
The modern definition of liberalism, at least in the political circles I’m around in, is highly doctored. It wants you to riot for not letting the people who are deemed security threats in and it also wants you to riot for sheltering the persecuted, on the converse. It means fancying all those gory revolutions with their bloody histories notwithstanding. It means vandalizing corporations and institutions that actually create wealth and it means continuing to score political points off remoteness and poverty.
Of course, how come a hard-working industrialist make a lot of capital while I, a liberal who is yet without a productive degree not make pennies. Only if social-media points bashing everything left and right converted into real money!
The modern liberalism reeks of elitism — a small, cut-out cabal with polished accents but superficial information on subjects. You cannot correct them — for you’ll be called names. You’re either with them or are a rural, religious and unsophisticated dickhead.
Quite ironical — this, that some of the most privileged people in some of the most subsidized institutions try ridiculing the same rural man whose cause they seem to be championing; for the man merely voting conservative. This explains the total vicious cycle of liberalism. As I said, today’s liberalism is a big sham. It’d do everything in its course and capacity to halt progress, social upliftment and growth of the people; come what may, that, that they can’t be wrong since they’re always morally “right”. The liberal-left nexus doesn’t give one a lot of confidence either. The time the liberals aren’t on the streets rioting against a project that’d employ thousands, they’re sitting in some sea-facing, dim-lit tavern sipping their brandy. That’s today’s liberalism summed up — all in and all out. In fact, I as a part-conservative have more in common with absolute liberalism than the popular masquerade that has been named the ditto.
