    Liberalism is the dominant ideology of the world. It is the establishment, the status quo. Agreeing with it is agreeing with authority.

    This is middle school shit

      Explain how. And while you’re at it, how you get from that to “being against authority is rejecting what is popular”.

        You claimed it is the status quo. I didn’t bring up how popular liberalism is. It’s popular because it’s correct.

          It is the status quo, enforced by the state. Here you are bringing up its popularity:

          Bring “anti-authority” doesn’t mean “disliking ideas because they’re popular.”

          How exactly is the status quo of capitalism, hierarchy, state and exploitation “correct”?
