For the full episode, subscribe at patreon.com/bungacast/membership What are examples of this backlash against liberalism? How is illiberalism different from populism, conservatism, or the far right? What is a thin versus a thick ideology? Are we condemned to a 21st century of only thin ideologies? Is 'illiberalism' a useful term to describe what is going on in politics today? Is liberalism versus illiberalism just a terminal culture war?
