they are multiple definitions for the same term

yes

and liberalism is left

it could be someone who advocates for individual rights, or it could be that it's someone who is just a part of a "liberal" party

you can use the term to mean many things

calling the democrats, democrats, doesn't mean they actually are democratic, right

it's just a name

Sheesh

I guess that is my main point here

There is nothing liberal about the modern day left. They're full on authoritarians

there is only so much value in a word, in a name

while the modern day left is further left then liberals that does not mean that liberalism isnt left-leaning

Redefining liberal and left to specific meanings is great and all but how it's generally used is just a more generic X side, vs. Y side

especially if we go from where the terms originated rather then trusting wikipedia

"The modern usage of the political terms left and right comes from the French Revolution of 1789 when supporters of the king stood to the president’s right, and supporters of the revolution to his left.
liberalism is left leaning"

this

the original term is irrelevant as it's modern usage is important in context

We don't use words the same way anymore, they take on new meanings and change over time

no people are obfuscating its original meaning for political gain

thats what you arent getting

How it is used is more important than how you want to define it

it's literally irrelevant

this is why liberals like sargon are called fascists. because the left is attempting to move the Overton window so that liberals are the new right

Sure, that is what they are doing

thus cutting conservatives out of the dialogue

The terms get redefined in practice

the original meaning and definition

the core tenants of liberalism do not change

the original meaning only applies to the French and thus anything outside of the French wouldn't be left or right

So no, nobody uses the original meaning

its just obfuscation

nobody uses the original meaning

Of course, the foundation of the modern day left originated from liberalism. A more open minded ideology gave birth to the monstrosity of modern day progressivism which is suppose to be "open minded".

It changes over time

The terms change over time is my point

see now that was a comment that i agree with @Aldomuz

it's literally just a pointless descriptor, we could call them bungaloos for all we want

So the bungaloos are 77% socialist

no people are attempting to change the definition for their gain

but those who actually know the roots of these terms and human history
