    That’s conservative ideology. Liberal only means not conservative. Stop trying to pretend that liberal means centrist. There’s already a word for that. It’s centrist.

      Liberal is the opposite of authoritarian. Progressive is the opposite of conservative. American 1 dimensional politics does not define all of political conversation.

        Liberal is the opposite of authoritarian.

        Riiiight… until you threaten their precious private property, capitalism, and/or imperialism. Then you quickly see liberals singing the same song fascists do.
