      On Lemmy people deriding liberals are very often farther left, not conservatives.

          Lemmy did an odd thing. I replied to someone replying to the top comment (“bickering with liberals”), who had assumed that poster was a Trumper. The person I replied to even replied to my comment, then they deleted both and my reply somehow ended up attached to your comment instead.

          Dude, you’re the uninformed one here not knowing about basic political science terms. Again, the US idea of “liberal” is not what the rest of the world calls “liberal”.

      “Liberal” in this context is from a socialist/communist lens. It’s not what the US calls “liberal”. It’s just another name for a capitalist, as in what Adam Smith defined. “Economic” liberalism.
