    Short answer is --- "Yes", hstory shows that reality has a liberal bias.

    Historically, "societies that waste human capacity through exclusion and conflict" end up poorer as a result.

    And the proof is smacking you up the side of the head as we speak. "America First" (aka Israel First) is about regressive isolation, threats, intimidation, open conflict, increased taxes (aka "tariffs") and economic contraction.

    Deny it if it makes you feel better about yourself but the cold, hard results will continue to speak for themselves.

      Not really, and even in your example, liberalism is strictly a right-wing ideology. The issue comes down to people using internal biases labeling ideologies according to their own in group biases, ie "left-wing is good and i'm a liberal therefore liberalism is left-wing". There are very few true left-wing politicians left in the western world (true communist/anarchist).

        And I bet the thought never occurred to you that you just did exactly the same thing.

            There are very few true right-wing politicians left in the western world (true fascist/dictators).
        When one person is allowed to raise taxes, restrict trade, pick economic winners and loser by way of government investment and even go to war --- what do you call that form of government? It certainly isn't democracy or "freedom" --- economic or political.

        The real truth --- there are no strict ideologies in the real world. Anything practical ends up being a mixture of some sort.
