| Slimebeast said: Exactly. I was shocked when I realized how few the true liberals are. Judging from the comments on Youtube in the comment fields to videos by Sam Harris, TheAmazingAtheist, Milo Yannopolis etc (there are many good conservative and liberal activists making videos on YT*, something I almost never see on mainstream media) I have some hope that they are on the rise though. What do you think?

I have no idea if classical liberalism is on the rise, but classical liberals are definitely not going down without a fight. What's great is that there is disagreement between classical liberals, but they keep it classy. They don't resort to group think that has marred the left (and also the right) and emphasize on individualism. They are most concerned with the most important type of diversity which is intellectual diversity. Some other YouTubers I tend to follow are The Rubin Report, Vernaculis, Kraut and Tea, and Chris Ray Gun.
The reason why conservatives and liberals' arguments inter-mix is because conservatism and liberalism are not antonyms of each other. You can be both. The reason why they seem to be at opposite ends of each other is because of the current political climate. This guy can explain it better than me
