    And your contention is that OP, commenting in 2023, without qualifiers, is referring to a term referring to 200-year-old conservatives?

    Either way, the meme is either using an incorrect or irrelevant term.

    You are giving op more than the benefit of a doubt.

      You obviously did not know why “liberal” is a pejorative term used by those from the left, of all the people you would least expect to do so based from contemporary (mis)understanding.

        Not even close. Like OP, your false assumptions render your point invalid.

            Of course I do. You don’t even know how to check which community you’re posting in?

            No wonder you sound so confused.

              I presume you are American. Outside of the United States, left and liberal does not usually mean the same thing, except for Americans who are orthodox left/socialists who could make distinctions. OP and the post are coming from orthodox left criticism of liberalism. He is not making any conflation.

              I see you responded to other comments also making similar explanations to you. But it seems that you won’t just let up despite being corrected and acting snarky. You got a lot to learn not just the broad historical development of political philosophies.

                Presume away.

                You seem to be very good at that.

                    It is your strength. Accuracy, relevance? Nah.

                    But presumption, you’ve got nailed down.
