Liberalism is an "upstairs" morality, much as “playing the game" and "good form" used to be in the English upper classes.

Its chief function is to enable our intellectual, professional, and business classes feel virtuous, while at the same time disguising the political mistreatment of the other classes.

Its adages of not “judging” anyone and being “neutral” among conceptions of how to live are in turn disguises for its judgment that the notions of ordinary people are defective, and that their conceptions of how to live are wanting.
