Liberal

The purpose of any culture, of any institution within any culture, is to prefer some ideas, some structures, and, necessarily, to retard and prohibit others. War, prisons, censorship follow naturally, even if new territories are not being sought: and new territories are always being sought. Thus, talk about tolerance, diversity, liberty ... are nonsense.

Questions still flow. Is the nonsense conscious or unconscious?
Both, of course.
Who's supposed to be fooled? the self? or the others?
Both, of course.
