Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

    There’s a huge differentiation between social and economic liberalism! Liberals in the US means almost exclusively social liberalism. Liberal in the us is progressivism.

    Economic liberalism is a Republican position, not a Democrat one.

      You’ve made it clear that you believe words do not have meanings, and are just vibes, yes.

            Multiple definitions of words can exist. When 300 million people agree on a definition, that’s a valid definition.

            Also, the RIDICULOUS ARROGANCE of Europeans never fails to astound me. 9 billion people? You really do think you represent the whole world lol. News flash, the colonial era is over, you lost your empires. Just stop, you’re embarrassing yourself.

              I’m not a European, lol. The entire world and the entirety of academia understands Liberalism the way most people on Lwmmy use it, ie to refer to a pro-Capitalist ideology.
