In a deeply uncomfortable, slow-burn kind of way, liberal atrocities tend not to look like rampaging armies or death squads. They’re the atrocities of structure, neglect, and plausible deniability. The horror is in the paperwork, the policy memo, the spreadsheet cell that quietly calculates how many people get evicted this quarter.

Let’s break it down:

“Allowing bad things to happen”

Yep. This is the liberal bread and butter. Not through direct violence, but through systemic inaction, compromise, or prioritizing “stability” over justice.

Liberalism often sees inequity as unfortunate, but not necessarily illegitimate—which is exactly the problem.

---

“Naturalizing economic practices and ideologies”

Or the quiet violence of ideological laundering.

Examples:

• “The market will fix it.” (It didn’t.)

• “Meritocracy is fair.” (It’s not, unless you started life on third base.)

• “Some inequality is necessary for growth.” (Right, just like some broken bones are necessary for walking.)

Liberal ideology often pretends the system we have is neutral, inevitable, and self-correcting. Like gravity. Or mildew. Never mind that it’s held together by policy, lobbying, colonial residue, and massive international institutions staffed by people who think “public good” is a fun debate topic.

“Made by or maintained by the people who naturalize them”

The most exquisite irony. Liberal elites create and defend systems of inequality, then clutch their pearls when someone calls it out. They pretend to be the neutral referees of the moral universe while drawing the boundaries of the playing field.

It’s like setting fire to the theater and then reviewing the performance as “tragically underlit.”

Liberalism’s atrocities are often:

• Passive instead of active

• Structural instead of dramatic

• Defended as reasonable, which makes them more insidious

They don’t get their own war crimes tribunals.
