This article asks if we should be allowed to have different thoughts and ideas...and suggests that this multidimensionality of thought may be a good thing for all of us: "These increasingly insistent demands for conformity to a single universal standard in speech and religion are the predictable outcome of the transition away from the Protestant construction of the West, with its fundamental principle of national independence and self-determination." For myself, I demand the ability to compose my own mind and speak it publicly without fear from the nation-state or the international liberal order.

I agree that we should all have the ability to compose our own mind and speak it publicly without fear from the nation-state. It is not clear what is meant by International Liberal Order, however we do know liberalism to be a political and moral philosophy based on liberty and equality.
Referring to the establishment of liberty and equality for all people as Imperialism doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, unless someone is defending privileges or advantages afforded to someone by wealth, social class, race, etc... voicing those opinions is of course perfectly legal, however that doesn't mean your going to get a pass from people who value liberty and equality.
