Why is it good to refrain from telling people what you think of their
behavior, especially if they are friends and their behavior is
self-destructive (or at least you think so)? It's okay to criticize the
right wing when they do wrong but not okay to criticize your comrades when
they do wrong?

Why adopt a morality whose norms restrict your ability to do your best to
save a friend or a relative? What an odd moral system this liberal
morality, with all its pretensions to amorality. Why not adopt a morality
whose norms require or at least urge us to do us very best in making life
better for everybody? These liberal views seek to atomize us, destroy our
sense of collectivity.

I don't get you on this point, Yoshie. This 1960s libertarianism is
garbage. Why preach it?
