Thread: I’ve come to the conclusion that the collapse we’re in now is the inevitable end of what purely secular liberalism looks like. (A sad reality as someone who wrote a book defending liberalism.) The tolerance baked into liberalism is what let Wokeism into the system.

The soft underbelly of that tolerance, and a belief that logic and reason can solve all, are the perfect breeding ground for bad ideas like Wokeism to pop up and breed. And secular liberals, without a bedrock truth other than their own minds, have no defense against this.

Our Founders understood this which is why the Constitution didn’t grant us rights, it protected them. Rights are god given, not man given. Logic needs something eternal beneath it as foundation. This is a point @yhazony @benshapiro @DennisPrager @jordanbpeterson have made often.

Liberals not only have no defense now, but they actively are destroying their own businesses, families and institutions by pretending that Wokeism can be rationalized with and defeated. The point of Wokeism is to be anti-human and anti-Individual. And it will spare no one.

I think some (former?) liberals like @realchrisrufo and @ConceptualJames have seen this, while most bury their head in the sand and hope it passes them by. It will not.

I welcome debate on this with @sapinker @SamHarrisOrg @EricRWeinstein @BretWeinstein @JonHaidt @bariweiss...

@sullydish @HeatherEHeying @CHSommers @peterboghossian @joerogan @MaajidNawaz and any other true liberal who would like to discuss it in good faith. No doubt there are varying levels of agreement and disagreement...something liberals used to relish in having.

End!
