    “Status quo” means the way things are. Liberalism is, among other things, about pushing for change.

      Your definition is very nice, me too i like change. But in practice i see most liberal governments doing 1 main thing: keeping the status quo (racial inequality, homophobia, poverty etc.).

      I’m sure i’m missing something here

        Yes. Don’t mistake an ideological group with those who exploit it for power.

          Do you have any secret for pursuing real liberalism? Now i’m struggling to take you seriously.

          If what you said is true, and considering every politician has exploited the ideology for power, that means true liberalism has never been tried? Cm’on we’ve had 200 years to do it right. Clearly the ideology is deeply flawed, unless you have anything to add.
