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

2019-12-04 23:53:20 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 23:53:41 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 23:53:47 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 23:53:55 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 23:54:05 UTC  

"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"

^

2019-12-04 23:54:07 UTC  

this

2019-12-04 23:54:19 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 23:54:22 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 23:54:36 UTC  

no people are obfuscating its original meaning for political gain

2019-12-04 23:54:39 UTC  

thats what you arent getting

2019-12-04 23:55:07 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 23:55:10 UTC  

it's literally irrelevant

2019-12-04 23:55:16 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 23:55:29 UTC  

Sure, that is what they are doing

2019-12-04 23:55:33 UTC  

thus cutting conservatives out of the dialogue

2019-12-04 23:55:35 UTC  

The terms get redefined in practice

2019-12-04 23:55:43 UTC  

the original meaning and definition

2019-12-04 23:56:00 UTC  

the core tenants of liberalism do not change

2019-12-04 23:56:01 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 23:56:08 UTC  

So no, nobody uses the original meaning

2019-12-04 23:56:10 UTC  

its just obfuscation

2019-12-04 23:56:18 UTC  

nobody uses the original meaning

2019-12-04 23:56:21 UTC  

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".

2019-12-04 23:56:21 UTC  

It changes over time

2019-12-04 23:56:33 UTC  

The terms change over time is my point

2019-12-04 23:56:49 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 23:56:51 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 23:56:56 UTC  

So the bungaloos are 77% socialist

2019-12-04 23:57:02 UTC  

no people are attempting to change the definition for their gain

2019-12-04 23:57:14 UTC  

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

2019-12-04 23:57:16 UTC  

we see right through it.

2019-12-04 23:57:22 UTC  

And the majority of the Bungaloos are in support of socialist ideas, and the majority of their candidates are now socialist

2019-12-04 23:57:33 UTC  

Even the reasonable one's like Andrew Yang are completely fucking nuts

2019-12-04 23:57:49 UTC  

They lack an ounce of reason or common sense, so far go in to their own ideology they believe they can will things in to relaity

2019-12-04 23:57:54 UTC  

Free 12,000 dollars for everyone, it's insane

2019-12-04 23:58:02 UTC  

That's the most reasonable peopel on the left

2019-12-04 23:58:08 UTC  

its not useless if we go back to what it really means. its only made useless by those trying to warp its meaning and definition

2019-12-04 23:58:10 UTC  

I mean, the Bungaloos

2019-12-04 23:58:22 UTC  

but like i said those who know the historical context and etc
