@Itsprincess: [quote]Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality. Whereas classical liberalism emphasizes the role of liberty, social liberalism stresses the importance of equality. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas and programmes such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free markets, civil rights, democratic societies, secular governments, gender equality, and international cooperation.[/quote]

I think what you refer is more of fanatics

@BeautifulDemon: I know that's the proper definition. But liberalism has changed I think. Some say they want free speech and freedom etc yet they get pissed and don't allow a white girl to wear braids because it's 'cultural appropriation' ffs
@BeautifulDemon: your definition would be so acceptable "if" the liberals could understand that those liberties come at a price. And it's equal to expect them to also pay and play a part of it.

@Itsprincess: Hmm, that sounds mean. But I think it's wrong to classify those type of people with a classification which has an essence of equality
* I am speaking of the fanatical leftist type liberal.

I actually believe that in order to make progress one needs a left and right leg working together.
@BeautifulDemon: similarly I find the fanatical leftist disdain for conservatism mean. As they enclude every conservative with out singling out the extreme fanatic. So, do you propose a better label?

@JoanieNewHampshire: I propose to disregard all the fanatics that support a group as that group's definition
Well yes, but in shorthand, how do I discredit either group with out a qualified preambles @BeautifulDemon:

@BeautifulDemon: obviously I didn't mean all liberals. I meant the extreme ones 😄😂
