Right, you mentioned you studied it in quite some depth back in college… I was thinking of “steelmanning” the other side of the argument, but it seems you know both sides pretty well already.

I can’t recommend any books “in favour” (I love #HelenPluckrose and her approach though). But if I were delving deep like you, I would have some morbid curiosity to read some of the most recent (and popular) ones, such as “White Fragility”, “How To Be An Antiracist”, or (gasp!) “Antiracist Baby”.

“The main tenets of #liberalism are political #democracy, limitations on the powers of #government, the development of universal human rights, legal #equality for all adult citizens, #freedom of expression, respect for the value of viewpoint diversity and honest debate, respect for evidence and reason, the separation of church and #state, and freedom of religion.”
