It is kind of interesting how the left mixes authoritarianism with a kind of libertinism. And yet sometimes there is a sort of puritanism. I figure the left rewards libertinism to groups and individuals it considers Alpha and it has all kinds of restrictions on those it considers inferior. Thus, there are no rules for gay males but a heterosexual man must practically fill out a form before he can so much as hold hands with his girlfriend. But if things go far then the girlfriend practically must have an abortion and this “choice” will be celebrated. Thus also, MeToo usually means everything but the left’s Alpha male, Bill Clinton, is not held up to the MeToo standard. His misconduct is virtually celebrated and his female victims are condemned and insulted.
Whether by intention or outcome, Liberals tend to champion only freedoms that enslave and/or destabilize: e.g., sexual rights, drug use rights, children's rights to be free of parental control, procedure rights for criminals (at the expense of victims and society), free speech rights for communists and jihadists (but not for pro-lifers, or conservative students on campus).
Once the person, a social animal, is shorn from the familial, ecclesial and other communities that give him context, reference and support; once he is taught to demand his abstract individual rights in splendid isolation from others; once he is schooled to nurture grievance and a sense of entitlement; once his moral conscience is replaced with a social one; he will decline into dependence as surely as night follows day.
The State will be waiting to care for him and minister to his needs--at the cost of his resources, his soul, and increasingly of his intelligence. As David Mamet writes, the Left cannot honestly evaluate the results of its actions.
