    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.

            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.
