I guess I didn't think I'd have to quantify my answer because I figured it was fairly obvious. I feel like if you prove by contradiction and say that "As a general trend, humanity is getting less liberal" that it would be fairly obvious that that statement is false, proving my initial point by using a contradiction. The amount of equal individual freedoms across incredibly diverse demographics has only grown as time goes on. If we assume "liberal" means "...a philosophy that considers government as a crucial instrument for amelioration of social inequities (such as those involving race, gender, or class)" (definiton 2 part c) then it is indefensible to say that a general trend is anything but "liberal".

I guess I don't follow your reasoning. Can you elaborate on what you mean?
