I am not the kind of person who likes change, naturally. A traditionalist who was reluctantly drafted into the progressive movement for the sake of social justice - this accurately describes me, and some other liberals I know of. We would love to protect tradition as much as possible, and would hate to see it crumble. We don't like change for the sake of change.
Yet social justice is required, and is a strong motivator. And for social justice, some things MUST change. Thus, reluctantly we get drafted onto the bandwagon for change, by our consciences.
There are indeed those who like change for the sake of change, but we are not those people, despite the depictions by our opponents. In fact, we see that we would have likely been very much like our opponents, if not for a bit of extra thinking and conscience.
Doing sociology and philosophy in real time by looking at developments in contemporary Western politics and culture, from a Moral Libertarian perspective. My mission is to stop the authoritarian 'populist' right and the cultural-systemist left from destroying the West.
