It is very confusing for sure, I’ve been chasing my own tail all night lol.

The way I’ve been using liberal is how it is defined in that definition. I don’t mean it as “a lot”.

In a parallel post I mentioned how the context it was used within my university classes meant as the definition as posted in my screenshot, and not as liberalism, which is naturally incompatible with the definition above.

When I referred to right-wing denouncing poltical liberals, I didn’t mean Liberalists, I meant those who hold the beliefs of the left/progressive.

To clarify, when I say liberal, I mean those who hold the values based on the definition I provided (leftists/progressives).
