liberalism

Kelsey Piper @KelseyTuoc How do we live with each other? [Text card:] The tragic, iron law of our species is that human beings living together will differ in ways that they are willing to die over; differences that they're willing to kill over. If you're lucky, the worst you'll ever feel toward another person is irritation or annoyance. But for most of us — particularly those of us with siblings — at some point we'll feel what can only be described as murderous rage. Liberalism sprang out of the unavoidable truth that there will always be reasonable (and unreasonable) disagreement, and that a world where people cannot live among those with whom they disagree is a world of chaos and endless cycles of retribution. At root, it's a philosophy that exists to answer one question: How do we live with each other?
