With my Britany’s root I long for the re-united celtic confederation

I did. I went to wales. They did not agree with you.

Of course, it’s all speculation, and obviously capitalism plays a role, I’m just not convinced it’s as significant as the role social media plays alone.

Don’t you think those companies have incentive to push for things that provoke outrage, and thus engagement? Imho endless political debates are not the expression of democratic feelings. They are just the way they keep you on the platform for ads.

I do understand (and I am sure you mean well, not attacking you as a person). But the confusion isn’t just a detail here, it’s inherent to what you’re saying. Look up what happened in Berlin in 1933, for example. Liberal conciliating attitude paved the way to nazism.

Well, the said liberals have defunded schools, hospitals, trains, retirement and anyknd of welfare here in the name of “being opened to new ideas”, so it’s a bit more than semantics. Sorry, I don’t want to be associated with liberalism.

Liberal bourgeois are a significant political force since the French revolution - and always opposed people. It is and always was about the freedom of industry barrons and nothing else.

My local political scene is using French, not English nor AAVE. And yet there is a which-hunt in the academia to exclude the “wokes” and the “islamo-leftists”. Sorry if my proximate political realities are more important than etymology.

European here. They are absolutely not synonymous. Where I grew up liberals are the right wing, with socialists on the left and religious party on the center.

Liberals are right-wingers all around the world, not only in america.

I know you probably mean well, but guess what? I do not care about how right-winger feels and I will not water down my opinions to please them.
