Cryophilia, 1 month ago I used to think it just was synonymous with the left, but I’ve recently been seeing a lot of comments on Lemmy saying liberals aren’t leftist so now I am not sure if it means anything or if those Lemmings are just dumb. @Cowbee I’ve been fucking telling you, insisting on a Eurocentric definition confuses people, and that confusion is exploited by fascists. American definition of liberal: socially liberal European definition of liberal: economically liberal
