Did you know liberalism has multiple variations?

I'm a big fan of negative freedoms.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Modern-day liberals (the far-left, the socialists, the progressives, and the woke) are very much against negative freedoms. They're like a standard screwdriver with a dull head: Completely useless, but still a dangerous weapon.

Thanks for Most Helpful. 👍

Yes I know that. I’m liberal, but I do not agree with modern American nutjobs who call themself liberals.

[meepmeeperton]

It's kind of just buzzwords at this point. I think "classical" liberalism became a trend so relatively conservative figures could say things like, "the radical left has gone too far, even I can see that and I'm a LIBERAL for God's sake!"

[Juxtapose]

No, these terms predate your existence and my existence put together.

[meepmeeperton]

Perhaps, but that's generally the kind of guy who will identify as classical liberal in the past 10 years or so.

[Juxtapose]

No not perhaps, it's the truth. Social liberalism itself started developing in the 1930s.. that's almost 100 years ago. You are very late to this discussion.

Classical liberalism is perfectly valid to identify with and I myself am a classical liberal. I think the modern left is absolutely insane and they are going far beyond social liberalism.

[worldscolide]

I am a classical liberal for sure especially because of my stance on individual freedom. And I can't stand shit stain leftists.

[Juxtapose]

Yeah they are giving the left a bad name and preventing anyone but Republicans from being able to steer the country in a good course again.

I'm kind of worried Republicans will go too far and then the pendulum will just keep swinging from right to left without any reasonability.

[worldscolide]

I'm kind of an asshole. I wish I had a Thanos glove, id snap my fingers and turn all politicians to dust regardless of political affiliation. Then I'd send a message to everyone to do better or it would happen again. Both sides are corrupt as fuck

[Juxtapose]

As brutal as it'd be, I can see it solving the issue.

[worldscolide]

Yeah me too.

[PreferNot2Say]

You don't need a Thanos glove to accomplish that. We The People have every right to physically remove the tyrants that are currently in our government. They've made it so that our votes don't mean shit. The only option we have left is to march into DC and tell them that their services are no longer welcomed here. Let them make the choice of it being civil or brutal. Unfortunately we've let it get to this point by blindly trusting these people, who don't give a shit about us in the slightest. The fact that dementia Joe is in the White House proves the corruption within our government. The man has no clue where he is or even who he is. But we are supposed to believe that he got more votes than any president before him? Yeah ok.

Sorry, what was that closing line in the first image about "self regulating market economy"? I was in agreement with most of it until that point, but that is straight up horseshit.

Individuals do not need an economy of any sort.
And the only reason why one might need the "necessary evil" of a state is to function as a cooperative counterbalance against invasion by collectivist interests... including capitalism.

[Juxtapose]

Individuals absolutely do need an economy are you crazy?

[Juxtapose]

And if you don't have the necessary evil of government you will be ruled by mafias.

[exitseven]

Yes, but today the most common is crazy

[Dongie]

I guess next they'll evolve into the ape.

You say that like conservatism also does not have a classical version.
