There's a huge differentiation between social and economic liberalism! Liberals in the US means almost exclusively social liberalism. Liberal in the us is progressivism.
Economic liberalism is a Republican position, not a Democrat one.
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml I promise this is the last one, I've made my point
You've made it clear that you believe words do not have meanings, and are just vibes, yes.
300 million people having the same vibe
9 billion having the same vibe as me.
Multiple definitions of words can exist. When 300 million people agree on a definition, that's a valid definition.
Also, the RIDICULOUS ARROGANCE of Europeans never fails to astound me. 9 billion people? You really do think you represent the whole world lol. News flash, the colonial era is over, you lost your empires. Just stop, you're embarrassing yourself.
I'm not a European, lol. The entire world and the entirety of academia understands Liberalism the way most people on Lwmmy use it, ie to refer to a pro-Capitalist ideology.
That makes it even more sad you're simping for a colonialist view
Are you saying the US isn't a colonialist project?
Not really on a scale comparable to Europe, no.
Damn, guess the Indigenous peoples were so thoroughly eliminated you forgot about them.
Yeah it was more genocidal than colonial
It was literally founded on settler-colonialism. Just because this resulted in such a profound and extensive destruction of countless peoples that are nearly wiped out today doesn't make it less colonial.
That's not colonialism. It didn't involve any colonies.
