The Hypocrisy of the United States

I think that hypocrisy is actually a feature of the liberal world order, but it needn't be an impediment to making the world a better place. We are putting ourselves in an uncomfortable position by deciding to live in liberal societies because we know don't quite perform as they should or we want them to. The principles themselves are intention, liberty and equality, individualism and community. All these principles are ones that put us liberal societies in a constant conversation about how you balance them. And so this gets us to hypocrisy, a sense that we are telling ourselves in the world that we are still working on things.
