No, what I'm experiencing is the conventional meaning of the term as used by people in normal language not matching up with a technical definition that you favour. It's fine that you prefer to use the word that way, you just can't expect everyone else to

Lol at that person's reply: "No, but the chart says it's true!"

These people have some desperate need for neat little boxes, each with their own designation, to put themselves and others into, and that's just not how the world works.

My guy I'm not arguing for neat little boxes. I'm saying that each of the little green boxes and neat little yellow boxes are all their own separate views and opinions, but all fall under the collective branch of libertarianism. And in that same breath I will tell you that Russia, China the United States Great Britain, Germany, etc can all be classified as authoritarian states.

Lol, most of the axis didn't even have labels. The reductionism is obviously silly, but presenting the classic 2D model as if that was actually how words are used is genuinely hilarious

I'm not glad you think it's funny that you were not properly educated in political terminology and political science.

:(

your teachers failed you.

Well you seem to be in the minority here so it would appear that the majority of people understand my definition as correct since that's the definition as defined in multiple dictionaries.
