I'm 55% of the way through Moral Politics right now and finding it excellent. That's kind of what it says. What it really does is claim that both liberals and conservatives in the USA are basing their politics on deep morals, but it links those moral systems to the way that we raise our families. Basically, we use the metaphor of the nation as a family and the government as its parents, so our moral positions tend to be the same for both.
Apart from making an excellent and persuasive case, the author also goes on to conclude that, in his opinion at least, the conservative approach to both raising a family and governing a nation is terribly flawed. The book was written in 1996, and seems completely relevant to today. I highly recommend it. I also heard about it from a reddit comment, so, I guess I'm trying to keep that going.
Podcasts/youtubes are fundamentally going to be opinion pieces unless they're heavily sourced and annotated throughout. If you can't scroll down and see links to primary research in the info, it's not exactly a "resource," it's an unsourced argument. Which if fine! It's just not going to actually do convincing or informing.
That goes for subreddits with a purposeful biased link, including r/socialism and r/capitalism. But bias isn't a bad thing! A source can be 100% accurate and still be biased because they tell only the stories they want to.
A classical liberal has no set definition, I'm afraid. A common theme among modern progressives is . . . nobody can agree on anything. Now classical liberal, it's seemed to have moved to a "defense" identity, something people say to . . . I dunno, blend in or try to say their views aren't as harsh as they're coming off.
Try books by George Lakoff. Moral Politics is a book I remember first scanning on my brother's bookshelf, and it always comes back to me as a starting point for untangling differences between right and left in America.
