Another paradox of liberalism.
When do so-called liberals become illiberal and hypocritical in their purported defense of liberalism.
This cuts to the heart of the matter, showing how the liberal West is treading on dangerous ground based on illiberal assumptions and specious argumentation about liberalism and its scope.

Thought provoking. Thanks!
US is neither run nor guided by liberal principles. Europe imagines she is liberal but there is always a nationalist, cultural superiority that cautiously runs through all policies though politely kept out of sight and coversation. Russia and Turkey and Ukraine and Syria have done little more than dabble in liberalism.
Good article on the spread of a new leftist liberal utopia in a new independent state in Northern Syria. From none other than the bastian of liberalism: NYT.
