Liberalism 1.0

As you age, you (should) acquire more knowledge of how the world really works. Living is where you take the socio-political theories you have and see how they apply in the real world. Hopefully, you modify your theories to fit reality.

To paraphrase Albert Einstein, mathematical theoretical thought that depends upon observations of the real world for its justification is capable of being wrong. And conversely, a theory that describes human existence that is not backed by valid observation is capable of being wrong.

Liberalism is just such a description of what human existence is supposed to be, but is not backed by valid observation of outcome. When this thought is totally naive, DocBrain calls is Liberalism 1.0

Here are some examples of Liberalism 1.0

1. War is not the answer.
2. From each according to his ability to each according to his need.
3. If a poor person or a minority is accosted by the police, it is police brutality and bias.
4. Women should have the right to an abortion in all circumstances.
5. A gay couple is exactly the same as a heterosexual couple.
6. Trust government as the best way to redistribute wealth and property.
7. Religion is bad; atheism is good.
8. A perpetrator of a crime is a victim.
9. There are no universal truths of right and wrong.
10. All street drugs should be legalized.
11. There is an equality among those who are not perfect.
12. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
13. Ad hominem attacks are influential in changing people's minds.
14. If something is logically correct but feels wrong, it is wrong.

If you are in your teens or twenties and believe anything on the list above, DocBrain is down with that, dog.

However, if you are over 29 and you still are believing any of the above, DocBrain advises you to do a little research into reality, 'cause you ain't no Einstein.
