I stand corrected, though it says a lot that I believed that there would be a group from the left making that claim.
Yes, says a lot about where you source your information and that you don't fact check enough.
Nobody fact checks enough. I'm sure you're wrong about things every day. There's no shame in admitting I was wrong, so cool your jets.
Case and point: your claim liberal ≠ leftist.
You're wrong about that. I'm not going to hang shit on you for being wrong, but it is hypocritical.
Case in point.
Neat.
I always figured it as "this is my case, and my point"
Thanks!
No I'm not. Google could've told you that.
I did google it (well, duckduckgo) and the definition is the one I've been posting. By the primary definition, liberal does mean progressive in every way.
I've got a news flash for you, bud: dictionary definitions don't tell you everything.
Here is the first DuckDuckGo result for "liberal vs leftist"
Please read it and get back to me
This discusses the political liberal parties in a US/british context.
The liberal parties do not hold the beliefs as defined below.
Which of these are not leftist ideals?
What you are describing is progressivism, which is a rather broad umbrella encompassing both leftism and liberalism. Since it's apparently my job to explain this to you, leftists think the rich should pay their fair share whereas liberals are pretty fond of billionaires all things considered.
Here's the second DDG result for the same query. I find it answers the question much more satisfactorily
What I'm describing is liberal ideology, as it is what the definition of liberal is when you look it up.
This is my last post responding to the definition of what liberal is, I don't care any more.
