    You’re on Lemmy, what leftists call a liberal refers to the economic philosophy of liberalism, ie pro-Capitalism. Leftists do not use liberal to refer to leftists like the average American does.

      If your meme uses definitions of terms that are different from what people generally understand when hearing those terms, then it’s not a good meme.

        The audience is Lemmy, most people here are leftists. Specifically, this is Lemmy.ml, which has many Marxists.

        People here generally understand it how I described liberalism.
