Thanks for that on the label “liberal”. I grew up thinking of myself as a Gen-X liberal, and somewhere along the line missed it changing meaning. So for the longest time I’d hear it referred to negatively and by certain groups, and was so confused. I hate labels. I prefer to discuss ideas to understand the true meaning, and the online culture has slowly killed that form of communication.
Yeah, nuance isn’t allowed these days. It’s all buzzwords, kneejerk reactions, manufactured outrage, faux pas, social scripts, campism, conformity, purity tests, and dick-measuring contests. On both sides of the political spectrum.
Pretty sure this was deliberate on the part of Russian cyber influence ops.
