@antanicus this is one of those things I want to go and make sure is a parody, but I'm too scared as i'll likely find something far far worse.

@antanicus can Americans please stop calling those people "liberals"? There's nothing liberal about this kind of view. In most of the world, "liberal" implies "in favor of liberty", not "in favor of banning stuff that doesn't benefit rich people enough".

@smari @antanicus So, like the Australian Liberal party, which is about as far from any liberal views as you could get?
Smári McCarthy
@gothnbass @antanicus haha, yeah. Okay, perhaps not everywhere. Lots of liberal parties really need to go to hell.

@garlorobelli @antanicus hahaha. No, loud and clear. We have a similar distinction in Icelandic (frjálslyndi (liberal) vs frjálshyggja (libertarian)). Oh wait! We also have it in English! Perhaps use that then!

@adachristine nah. Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn are big tent conservatives, with members ranging from libertarian to fascist. Vinstri Græn are traditionalist authoritarian socialists.

@antanicus Maybe "liberals" in the European definition of liberalism, but US liberalism is not against state intervention in the economy. |
