The main danger from liberals is that they believe in the perfectibility of Mankind. That is what makes them dangerous.
Strawman. Actually most progressives don't believe in the perfectibility of mankind. They believe in the
betterment of mankind. I think history bears out that progress is in fact possible.
Unless you're one of those who people who romanticized and long for the 19th century "good old days" of the industrial revolution, when life was shorter, more brutish, and less just for most. I suppose people from that age had better character. The smell of coal dust choked the air and the people knew their place. They feared authority and kept their heads to the grindstone at all times. This is the conservative spirit!
