Americans use liberal and leftist interchangeably
Like cuck, or soyboy.
What is free and equal to one is not the same as another.
It is what it is, I'm not complaining. I just acknowledge that it is technically wrong
So really the definition of a Liberal is a subjective one
As Liberal means you are in support of Liberty, freedom and Equality
And that's not the same for everyone.
Difficult to misuse a term that means basically anything the person using it wants it to mean.
If we are going to be really semantic then liberal isn't technically about equality, just freedom.
And the left want freedom from traditional constraint and morals
It's about doing away with traditional values.
That's what liberalism is.
bad
Which had lead to some advancements.
Like modern medicine.
Liberalism as an ideology, however, is about removing institutional power from oppressing people from seeking their own self interest
And if you want to use a really old definition, then it's just a man born with freedom
It's a broad term and means whatever you want it to in the tone that you use it.
Which includes the freedom to be degenerate.
Yeah, but people always have that.
Would you take that away?
If I could, yes I'd remove all degeneracy
That's not even remotely feasible though
You can still discourage and punish degeneracy though
Fines for sodomy (including oral), jail for creation of porn, fine for distribution, etc.
Haha Maga, Kill All Niggers!
Can you define degeneracy, or is it just like Liberalism?
It's just whatever you deem it to be when the moment calls?
Basically it is the use of anything which is in contradiction to the telos of the thing
Paternal Consevatism: the father of autistic contemporary conservatism
Lol
People like Burke were totally misinterpreted
by corporations and the Republican Party.
he wasn’t nearly as free market especially when he saw the French Revolution
Conservatism isn’t an economic ideology - so libertarians to be will always be some sort of liberal and nothing more really.
“Conservative” economics is neoliberal economics sold as “fueling the National spirit”
American conservatives are closer to classical liberals than Burkian conservatives 100%.
- or literally wealthy bourgeoisie pockets lol
