Liberal values refers to the value system commonly held by liberals. These values stand in stark opposition to conservative values, rejecting those things which conservatives hold to be dear and true. In general, liberal values tend to undermine traditional society, and in certain instances can cause irreparable harm to the lives of individuals who are brought under their sway.
Liberal values include, but are not limited to:
- Failure to warn people (particularly youngsters) about the harm caused by a lack of conservative values.
- Censorship of ideas deemed politically incorrect. For example, left-wing student groups will often protest or disrupt conservative guest speakers on college campuses, while conservative student groups tend not to disrupt left-wing speakers.
- Denial of politically incorrect truths such as the link between abortion and breast cancer.
- Opposition to the free market, instead favoring heavy regulation or even socialism.
- A desire for equal outcomes as opposed to equal opportunity.
- Excessive emphasis on credentials, especially those awarded by liberal institutions.
- To make a moral judgment (at least, one in disagreement with liberal values) is tantamount to being a bigot.
- Bigotry itself, an almost uniquely liberal trait.
- Conflating separation of church and state with state atheism.
- A willingness to excuse any aggressive and irreverent behaviour in other countries, while harshly criticizing their own.
- Strict materialism and an overreliance on narrowly defined "reality".
- Contempt for lawful and proper authorities.
- Mistaking conclusions for facts.
