The important thing about the spat between James Lindsay and Alex Kaschuta is that Lindsay's behavior is a reminder that "classical liberalism" is a relative of leftism and generally fights the right harder than the left who it views as a kind of misguided cousin (because it is)
The right poses an existential threat whereas the left is just kind of out of control but certainly well-meaning!
Cannot recommend James Burnham’s Suicide of the West enough here, really made the most convincing case I've ever read
Put classical liberalism in quotes because that term is on a kind of spectrum; John Locke, a liberal in his day, would be likely considered far-right were he alive today by James Lindsay who also identifies as a liberal
