    That is semantics friend. You’re describing semantics. We disagree on the meaning of a word, because colloquially it means one thing while it means something else in other definitions.

    Also your analogy is bad. You’re describing a generalization or the formation of a stereotype.

    Correcting language IS NOT how you correct ideas. You correct ideas by making people experience a difference in emotion.

    Still missing my point. I agree with your stance wholeheartedly. It’s a semantics problem. The point of communication is to get an idea across, and you’re hard stuck on this pictures usage of the word liberal.

    I don’t know if you’re not from the US, but I am, and what I’ve described is how that word is interpreted in the US.

    Count on the Internet to bring out the pedantic comments. “Liberal” is the word used to describe pretty much anything on the “Left” in the USA.

    Keep making your divisive posts about the “Liberals” vs the “Left” though. Trying to make sure you aren’t boxed in with any other “Left” pointing groups will definitely help bring people together to change the current state of things…
