But… it isn’t? Most conservatives are both socially and fiscally conservative
Only fiscally conservative when it’s others getting the hand outs. Everyone loves their own hand outs because they’re fantastic and completely justified.
Liberalism is an idealist ideology that promotes free market principles, individualism, and fundamental rights
Liberalism emerged as the ideological component of capitalism, and gained administrative power as a result of the bourgeois revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries in North America and Europe.
Liberal doesnt mean what most people think it means
Unfortunately on fiscal policies both the Democrats and Republicans are pretty much identical. It’s all pro market liberalism. That being said the Democrats are better just because of the social issues but the word liberal refers to market liberalism which both of them support.
You’re wasting your time pointing this out. This guy’s entire MO is equivocation.
If it helps, I voted for Biden in 2020 and will vote for him again. But as a Marxist, I recognize the contradictions in capitalism, and how Democrats and Republicans maintain it.
“How to know if someone is a Marxist”
So you’re just looking to shit on people even though in action you align. Got it
I thought it was a funny meme about conservatives. Shit on people? No. Align against Trump and fascism. Yes.
You’re saying that the point of this image is not to suggest that conservatives and liberals are basically the same?
You clearly would have to know many people think that’s absolute bullshit, so any comedic effect would be a derisive “I’m above you all” type of attitude.
Unless I’m missing something entirely, if so I’m all ears.
You didn’t know that conservatives and liberals are both capitalists? This might help.
Why do you think “I’m above you?” I’m not. We can disagree on ideologies and still be friendly. It’s just a silly meme.
I expect the answer would be “nuh-uh, ‘liberal’ is short for ‘socially liberal conservative.’”
Why post lies on the Internet? Hoping they become true if you repeat them enough?
Knock, knock. Who’s there? Liberal Conservatism.

Yes life is a purity test where no one is left enough except you
Sorry this post wasn’t right enough for you.
Point proven
From my point of view, liberals in this thread are doing a purity test.
