Prager says he's still a classical liberal: people don't yearn to be free, they yearn to be taken care of, that's why the left wins all over the world

Leftism and liberalism have virtually nothing in common. Yet millions of nice liberals support the Left. Why?

It can be said that gaining wisdom is a process of gaining some dark insights into life. One such insight is this: A lot of evil has been abetted by nice people. By "nice," I am referring to the way…

Because they are not liberals.
The American liberal IS a leftist. It is the same thing.
It wasn't that was 20 years ago.
But wokism and virtue signaling has morphed the American liberal into an insane pretend fairy land.

Communist regimes killed some 100 million people in the 20th century—none of them combatants in war. Add to that number more than a billion devastated lives: the friends and family of the murdered, the generations deprived of elementary human rights and the countless number of innocent people imprisoned and tortured, and you have as pure an evil as is imaginable.

Doing it and calling it war even though those people did nothing to you is hardly any better.

that capitalism, the only economic system to lift billions of people out of poverty, should be replaced by socialism,

One can not believe in replacing something that doesn't even exist.

All Prager is doing with his whiny bitchfest of an article is just cementing the fact that he is a card carrying member of Alt-Right Nation.
No shocker. Oh yeah, and the old "capitalism is best" argument..again.
Wonder if Prager realizes our economic system has been a blend of capitalism and socialism for about a century now?
Naw....that would spoil the narrative.

It's true we no longer have real capitalism, it has been replaced by crony capitalism.
Crony capitalism is just another form of collectivist corruption with govt arbitrarily picking winners/losers & this is the main reason everything is inevitably breaking down.
The UNiparty is following orders to crash the system to make way for a "reset".

If you know we don't have true capitalism, when they try to claim capitalism is responsible for crashing the world, maybe you won't fall for it?
Nah, you'll parrot whatever they tell you to say till you are no longer useful & they decide feeding you isn't good for their bottom line
