I love many postliberal concepts, but I struggle with trusting the gov’t to enhance societal well-being without overreach.

Protecting and flourishing local industries is a necessity, as excessive capitalism can over-globalize markets, destroy cities like it did rust belt and widen wealth gaps like in the 80s and 90s. But government favoritism is also a big problem.

I love the libertarian “leave me alone” concept too, but I also love the community-based approach on postliberalism. I grew up in such a multicultural community and it was beautiful.

I think current policies often rely on emotional triggers.

For example, immigration/border debates ignore the corruption and money trail that happens behind it.

Despite healthcare focus, costs in the US remain too high due to over-privatization - I did dental cleaning last week for just 50 cents in my country.

So much of AA debates in university but the importance of the quality of education and ever-increasing cost is left out.

Governments these days find the easy way out, getting people to blame each other instead of doing their jobs.
