However, you are on Lemmy where the vast majority of users are from the US which means they have their own weird skew on libertarianism and liberalism, thanks to their media and social media. Somehow it’s distinctly Republican, conservative (lol, yes), and pro-capitalism, which obviously isn’ correct because of their many, many, many, anti-liberal views.
