It's an oxymoron to a liberal. They immediately assume you're a right winger unfortunately in America at least. Then you have to just say you're a socialist and then they think you want to put them in the gulags. Then you say well I'm the anarchist kind and then they think you're going to kill them for liking money or something. My primary complaint is liberals believe the right when the right try to say what libertarian means, and I think liberals should instead be educated on the word but they are often can't be convinced , and it's often too much energy to even try. (I'm including the modern liberal and conservative in that definition of liberal). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] artificialfish@programming.dev 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 1 year ago* (1 child) I'm not talking about protection, I'm talking about reclamation. Ie not all words must be protected, but some words have reason to be reclaimed. Very different things. The right shouldn't have a monopoly on liberty in political discourse. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] artificialfish@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
