In this setting, liberals face a conundrum. How far should they maintain traditional liberal ideals, and how far should they move towards non-liberal, and potentially illiberal, ideologies if these seem more promising for the purposes of social change?

Haha, that looks funny in the eyes of anyone who understands the subject.

But okay. I believe that regardless of how many questions I pose in order to find out if your case makes any semblance of sense, I won't find out whether it does.

I'll just assume you are clueless without noticing it yourself. That's okay.

Ok, and I'm just going to assume you're dishonest shit heel. Actually, that's not really an assumption, given I can see that you are

What if I just give you my contact on Telegram and you throw me a video call and see that no, I'm just a person who has grown in such different environment than your that I cannot recognize the context in which you are making your basic assumptions?

I'm not stupid, literally, but I am apparently very inexperienced in the regards of many things that are absolutely everyday for you.

I don't really care about your backstory - you were deliberately playing dumb just to be obtuse; making you a dishonest shit head.

Honestly, not.
And it is sad that people are so entrenched that they fail to understand that people can really have different backgrounds.
