It gets even better in Canada: "neoliberal" and "neoconservative" are used more or less interchangeably, and mean roughly the same thing as "classical liberal", which is of course the exact opposite of the current Liberal party.
- rarrrrr 8y agoBecause they're indistinguishable members of the Property party: both corrupt corporate shills. In the US, for example, the Clinton doppelganger of the Southern Strategy was to the take the upper-case Liberals and shift them right. As an example, HRC didn't support gay rights until recent years. Disclaimer: I don't subscribe to any political labels.
- rootusrootus 8y ago> Disclaimer: I don't subscribe to any political labels. In my experience, disclaimers like this usually mean the opposite.
- happytoexplain 8y ago>I don't subscribe to any political labels. What does this mean, exactly? Wouldn't merely having opinions on social issues mean the details of those opinions fall under political labels? Acknowledging such labels doesn't necessarily mean your opinions have been simplified to the point of misrepresentation, or that all your opinions must conform to a single label, or that each opinion must conform fully to one label and not at all to another, if those are the kinds of things you're worried about when you say you don't "subscribe".
