Racism is condemned by all good thinking persons ,  bone fide religious teaching naturally teach of the soul  the body is the machine that carries the soul .An external machine has no real bearing when it comes to understanding spiritual  consciousness . The equality of all persons was clearly understood by the original founding fathers of the USA , at least academically, who wrote in their constitution that this equality is a self-evident truth , and indeed it is to sensibly situated and balanced educated persons , incidentally those persons should be leaders , not peddlers of hate and division.

The questions come regarding freedoms, just how far do you want to take liberal democracy , and the rights of freedom of expression and lifestyle. Does it mean if the majority of unthinking persons can become convinced by a small minority of other unthinking persons who have the means to promote a message that something that was thought  harmful is actually good for everyone , and that such messages should be openly broadcast in the name of freedom.

What are the measuring tools for the levels of liberalism if  any , who is able to give references , what is the source, and why should it be accepted

Scientific knowledge of the workings of the body , mind and consciousness will be required in order to make sure that human existence is utilised for  the greatest benefits of individuals and communities and nations . Naturally the Vedas says there are always an intelligentsia within societal stuctures , there always has been snd always will be , Divinity has the responsibility to guide societal affairs and He does so by favouring the Brahminical classes , they are the essential elements in society,  and they spontaneously have a heart for all living beings and through their applications of theological studies are scientifically in tune with nature , phycological matters ,spiritual matters and social sciences of every kind . They can explain in detail what is good and why its good and what is bad and why its bad . They can set practical programs to bring the attached to the gradual path of detachment . Addicted to the bad , people need the path out to experience the higher tastes of the good . Goodness , passion, and ignorance all need a thorough understanding, and the Brahminical classes know these topics well . Further  developments  of the human condition need understanding, and the  psychological journeys both  good and bad should be taken into account . Real human brings  and real leaders are aware of these sensitivities , but not animal like leaders , who do not take advice from an intelligentsia but rather ignore them , and they promote harmful animalistic freedoms,  this is the real problem society is facing,  fools have voted in fools , the results are clear . The science of consciousness and rasa are given in the Vedas , the full understanding of exchanges and  the potential of love are given and as  well self imposed degradation of consciousness causing the original pure love to decend to the lower depths of unlimited lust , with bodies of many many types to facilitate that , spontaneously delivered by the material energies within 8,400,000 species of life . What is the cause of all causes , Richard Feynman admitted was a difficult topic , but there is always a cause of everything , nothing happens by chance , everything has a scientific explanation , and this supreme science is discussed in the Srimad Bhagavatam third canto. THE fundamental principles of material nature.
