I read Sasaki's first link and it was very good all the way up until the end.

NOTE: To understand this, you have to read the article.
Those we call "conservatives" want liberalism 3.0 and those we call "liberals" want liberalism 4.1. But then he just goes on to say at the end that what we need and are ready for is liberalism 5.0.

No one is looking towards the future, they are just clinging to their old ideas and feelings.
