Agreed. Serling was essentially liberal, but far more so in a humanistic way than in an ideological way, I think. He thought humanity should strive to be better, while recognizing how easily it could embrace hatred & violence - he abhorred materialism & greed but understood to need to have meaningful work & be paid a fair wage for it - and he saw the importance of education, the arts, and science for everyone, while also appreciating the necessity of the practical side of life as well.

Yup. They don't seem to understand they'd "cancel" people like Rod Serling, George Carlin, or Bill Hicks if they were alive today.
