Liberalism, at its core, is an ideology of emancipation that historically sought to dismantle oppressive hierarchies and champion freedom and equality for all. In practice, it continues to challenge modern systems of oppression, such as capitalism and systemic inequality, that restrict freedom for the many while empowering the privileged few. Although the language of liberalism has been co-opted by capitalist ideologies to justify hierarchies of wealth and power, its true essence lies in prioritizing universal liberty and rejecting systems of exploitation. By aligning more closely with leftist principles, which work toward creating a more equitable and just society.
this is incorrect as long as a group is more conservative than them. I'm sorry but you're wrong.
it feels good to be morally superior to people, and you've chosen the liberals. what you want is to point at them, cross your arms, frown and make sure everyone knows how upset you are. Which doesn't solve any problems. For someone who calls themself a progressive, your solution is awfully conservative, wouldn't you say? Be better. Stop complaining and do something, you twit. Nobody cares who you feel superior to.
If I were more conspiracy-minded, I'd say they were purposely being counterproductive and driving away the only people who could conceivably be converted to their cause.
