Liberalism, which is a centre right ideology if we’re using that idiotic left right scale, is fundamentally different from leftism and conflating the two is disingenuous at best and willfully ignorant at worst.

What's wrong about calling it liberal left then when literally 100% of those people are left wing leaning? Isn't that like saying "the conservative right"?

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 2 days ago

No, because liberals are not leftists.
