  • Liberals don’t actually have beliefs. To them, belief is about signaling group affiliation, not actual intellectual belief.

    When a liberal says that they believe in freedom and democracy, they don’t mean that they think that freedom and democracy are the best ways to organize a society, they are merely saying that they belong to WEIRD (western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) society.

    Of course it’s incomprehensible for a group of people who are profoundly nihilistic that someone would actually be willing to die for what they think is right.

    I’m reminded of the tale of the liberal who says big words about climate change but cannot not be arsed to give up their gas-guzzling SUV. To them, “I believe that climate change is real” is merely a statement of group affiliation (i.e. “I’m with the cool kids”), not a factual statement that implies the need for urgent action.
