I really want to nip threads in the bud. Besides blocking threads.net itself, defederate from any instances that do not. This is blatantly an EEE strategy and a united front is the only way to save what have been accomplished. Here is how Indivudals can do it on mastodont as an example to follow. https://hachyderm.io/@crowgirl/110663465238573628 Edit found this , https://fedipact.online/ please sign.

Wait until you realize that liberal does not mean left wing. Liberalism is a right wing ideology.

edit: to the guy who replied and blocked, complex political ideologies aren't reduced to just a simple 4 way political compass lol. Don't get your political knowledge from r/politicalcompassmemes

wait until you realize (if ever) that liberalism has nothing to do with left/right scale...

I've had multiple conversations about liberalism and come to realize there's a multitude of definitions none of which make complete sense. A left-wing definition might be "liberal democratic capitalism" like most of Europe is, with neoliberal being a more right-wing version of that like the US. A right-winger might use liberal to mean someone culturally progressive. Sometimes liberal is used to mean someone who wants a smaller government, sometimes it is confused with libertarianism (which was originally left-wing but co-opted by free market capitalists).

I don't think the term "liberal" is useful anymore, it's mostly thrown around towards people you perceive to be the status quo.

not understanding or trying to intentionaly appropriate words (similar mechanism to discussed eee) and change their meaning is indeed a thing, but these are still a facts:

  • liberal is not a term on left/right scale.
  • person using phrase "liberal virtue signaling" is still sending pretty clear message about himself
