Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

      Multiple definitions of words can exist. When 300 million people agree on a definition, that’s a valid definition.

      Also, the RIDICULOUS ARROGANCE of Europeans never fails to astound me. 9 billion people? You really do think you represent the whole world lol. News flash, the colonial era is over, you lost your empires. Just stop, you’re embarrassing yourself.

        I’m not a European, lol. The entire world and the entirety of academia understands Liberalism the way most people on Lwmmy use it, ie to refer to a pro-Capitalist ideology.

          That makes it even more sad you’re simping for a colonialist view

              Not really on a scale comparable to Europe, no.

                  Yeah it was more genocidal than colonial

                    It was literally founded on settler-colonialism. Just because this resulted in such a profound and extensive destruction of countless peoples that are nearly wiped out today doesn’t make it less colonial.
