This is what I actually believe. I think various kinds of liberals are sometimes well-meaning but misinformed on issues, and sometimes two contradictory approaches can both be valid, requiring some choice between them without a clear cut universally applicable answer.
When people talk fondly of liberals from generations past, what they're thinking of are generally what we'd call libertarians nowadays: People who want to maximize freedom even if it gives license to licentious behavior. Sometimes because it gives license.
Imposing a totalitarian nightmare state to "redistribute the wealth" and other Marxist bologna is not a reasonable position. Identity politics is not a reasonable position.
Me? Like most people who actually think about issues, I've got a mix of positions instead of taking a single unilateral approach to all. I'm in favor of legalized condoms and opposed to gay marriage, for example. And on these issues I have wiggle room on many low-priority subjects (whether or not usury should be legal, income tax vs. flat per person head tax, etc.) and to be persuaded or simply to allow what I think is impractical even if I think another way would be better.
And contrary to popular belief, I also listen to leftists, hear out their positions...I have no choice but to hear you, so why not pay attention to what you say? It's just that leftist ideologies of racism, sexism, infringing on rights like freedom of speech, ownership, and self defense...these are all just plain bad.
