How often do you guys hear people call themselves liberal when they clearly aren't
>Examples
> Wants strict gun control
> Wants more government benefits aka health care, free college, affirmative action
> Pro Safe Spaces
I assume they're liberal socialists most of the time but they're to stupid to say that instead of only saying liberal.
>confusing liberalism with libertarianism

In countries where the political debate is above whooping noises, HUE-ing and throwing poo, liberalism refers more to liberty than social liberalism. The exception being the US, where it's turned into a synonym for progressive lunacy.

Left-wing "liberalism", imperial system, American football : when will America stop making retarded parodies of actual European concepts.

Luckily a lot of progressives are just abandoning the "liberal" title entirely.
