      Politics have been irreparably poisoned by that political compass bullshit.

      The opposite of conservative is progressive, not liberal.

      Liberals want to “liberate” the market from regulation, which frankly, snuggles nicely with fascists who want slaves back.

          Did that liberals actually call themselves “liberals”? What historic event to you refer to? Or is this just another trick of fascists in disguise to just switch the definition over to “liberal” for unwanted opinion? How is progressive not the opposite of conservative?

          Yeah, it seems like the redefinition of words is in full swing… like social democracy suddenly became communism. I won’t study american syntax to post on a international forum…

          The problem is that liberalism is a pseudo-scientific, hegemonic/capitalist ideology concocted by slavers from hundreds of years ago.
