Chapter 1: Observations on Liberalism

In recent years, I've observed a growing trend among minorities distancing themselves from not just the Democratic Party, but from liberal ideologies at large. My own shift away from liberal beliefs began when I realized that those who identified as liberals often didn't genuinely uphold the values they professed. Their convictions appeared more as affirmations of their own biases rather than a commitment to true humanitarianism. For many, this might be evident, but until you experience it firsthand, the depth of this phenomenon can be difficult to grasp. Liberals often utilize minorities as mere props for their narratives, showcasing them in spaces that claim inclusivity but feel anything but organic. This is particularly evident in corporate environments, where minorities are often brought in to meet Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) quotas, yet many still feel alienated. My experience with liberal spaces revealed a growing exclusivity and an environment that seemed to prioritize Self-Interest Activism (SIA) over genuine support for marginalized voices.

Moreover, I found that liberalism wasn't conducive to my mental well-being or personal growth. I carried resentment towards those who were different from me, particularly white or Christian individuals, which contradicted my self-image as a liberal advocating for acceptance and tolerance. As I became more receptive to the truth—rather than just the narratives that felt good—I noticed significant flaws within liberal ideologies.

I began to compile my thoughts on liberalism, particularly regarding its tendency to base arguments on extreme cases. For instance, many Black individuals are led to believe that their biggest threat comes from white police officers, while the data indicates otherwise. It’s a truth that can’t be acknowledged without facing backlash. While diversity is celebrated, it often comes with caveats; dissenting opinions are frequently silenced despite the rhetoric of inclusiveness. Liberals may agree with you on nearly every point, but they will hone in on any divergence, no matter how minor.

Liberal narratives have also distorted women's realities through misleading claims. Women are told they are oppressed while simultaneously being encouraged to embrace independence, often through excessive debt from higher education. This contradiction raises questions about the true nature of their empowerment.

Additionally, the liberal stance on religion, particularly Christianity, has often been one of skepticism. I once shared this perspective, having only seen a few negative examples online. However, upon embracing Christianity, I discovered that it was often the secular liberal individuals who were more vocal in critiquing faith. Their skepticism tends to permeate various sectors of society, from education to politics, creating a paradox where they criticize others for imposing beliefs while doing the same themselves.

What I find most troubling is the way liberals cloak their self-serving motives in the guise of altruism. Many political figures adopt causes for the sake of gaining votes, while businesses support social initiatives solely for profit. This trend has allowed liberal women to perpetuate homogeneous work environments under the banner of equality, ironically mirroring the very structures they criticize.

In their pursuit to eradicate racism, many liberals inadvertently adopt discriminatory views against those outside of "protected classes." Feminism is often wielded as a weapon against men rather than a path to equality. Additionally, liberals who criticize capitalism often rely on its products for their comfort, revealing a disconnect between their proclaimed values and their everyday realities.

It seems that many liberals are unaware of the foundations of their beliefs, often relying on superficial arguments that absolve them from genuine accountability. This avoidance of responsibility is further illustrated by the relativism inherent in liberal ideology, which blurs the lines of right and wrong based on emotional bias.

Liberal thinkers tend to dismiss any opposing viewpoint as obsolete, viewing their beliefs as inherently superior. They often embrace science, except when it contradicts their narratives, and any accountability is met with accusations of bigotry.

Lastly, liberal politics appear disjointed and disconnected from reality, often aligning with aging figures out of touch with the current political landscape. There’s a tendency to pressure voters into supporting subpar candidates, reflecting a desperate bid for power rather than a commitment to public service.
