My reading, contextualized by the UK criminalizing family carers of pwME who've died post GET, has no room in it for liberalism. Not a millimetre.

Meant to quote post this - I'm not raised by conservative parents but I'm glad to see people escape their reactionary roots.
My parents are currently on the journey with me to explore the possibility of socialism and communism haha.
We are escaping liberalism, leaving warfare economics behind!!

I got kicked out at 15 and couldn't have been happier about it. I'm no contact 15 years later but from what I hear, my mother loves to post sob stories about how liberalism is making children cut their parents from their lives

I was wondering what "Richardsonism" would be? I think you're right, it just sounds like a brand of liberalism that Nate Silver doesn't like.
Is this Nate's silly way of saying he's a post-liberal? The obfuscation of ideology in 2025 is really really annoying. I don't know what anyone believes.

i know it's ad hominem but Deneen thinks "liberalism is 'more insidious' than fascism" mostly because he blames liberalism rather fascism for the fact that he was denied tenure at Princeton - the rest is post hoc rationalization

I think in general there is a very weird tendency among some people to try and shame folk for being vaguely interested in premodernity in something other than an actively disparaging way, like if you don't profess enough hatred of premodernity you are abandoning your post in defence of liberalism

Here is a taste of his piece, "Caesar Wept": Like other terms featuring what has sometimes been called a ‘magical prefix’, ‘post-liberal’ has both a complicated history and many conflicting meanings. It was first used in the 1970s by American theologians who sought a post-liberal alternative to forms of Protestantism that had made too many compromises with the modern world.

Why does scientific socialism constitute a rejection of enlightenment ideas? It seems, rather, to be a different development of them than liberalism. Post-liberalism is a rejection of the Enlightenment, at least superficially, in pursuit of a return to Divine Right

Marxist thought retains the primary liberal goal (human well-being) but rightly (IMO) explains that the capitalist class’ economic and political domination cannot lead to sustained material well-being for the working people. Unlike post-liberalism, Marxism doesn’t reject the Enlightenment project

This ignores that liberalism leaves the door open for fascism, and is inadequate to stop it once it gets in.
The egalitarianism is good, but it's always at odds with the systems that crop up in liberalism.

"Post-liberalism" is like every other -ism they promote. A system which legally gives them everything they want whilst leaving us scraps to fight over.

No, there isn't, and here's why:
Post-liberalism is not ANY authoritarianism.
It's the idea that policy and the direction of society should no longer be determined by science and secular ethics, but by following tradition as interpreted by an authoritarian Christian leader with Divine Right

Post-liberalism is not just any authoritarianism. It’s the ideology of deciding, “this figuring out policy and the way society should go through science and ethics is hard and lacks meaning. let‘s just go back to following tradition, specifically, God’s ordained ruler’s interpretation of it”

Maybe I'm just that naive, but I still don't understand why these questions (e.g., "What if we tried post-liberalism? Would it be that bad?") are up for discussion in 2025. Are so many people's beliefs that hollow? Are they that scared? Are people getting paid to say these things?
