Sounds like American political parlance needs to be elevated by people learning the distinction between all of those terms. Which is exactly the point of the comment. Just because a lot of people misuse terms and conflate unrelated concepts, doesn't mean they're right.
- vorpalhex 5y agoDo you have some kind of source that gave you this misinformed idea you keep repeating? Neither Britannica, Wikipedia, Dictionary.com or any other obvious source remotely supports what you are claiming. Are you confusing Libertarians with Liberalism?
- temp8964 5y agoIt’s just a far-left claiming everyone else is right-wing. It’s a common thing in their group.
- jakelazaroff 5y agoLiterally three comments up is someone claiming “Democrat” and “Communist” are synonyms.
- krapp 5y agoI mean, I've seen Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama referred to as Marxists and Communists numerous times. "Liberal" has been a pejorative for Democrats and progressives for decades. Nuance is not a property that American political discourse possesses.
- jakelazaroff 5y agoThat supports my point. Claiming that everyone beyond some threshold is in the other wing is a bipartisan pastime, not a leftist one.
- krapp 5y ago>Just because a lot of people misuse terms and conflate unrelated concepts, doesn't mean they're right. On the one hand, I want to agree with you because every time I see someone on here use "woke" without any sense of what the word is actually meant to describe (hint - Spotify removing Joe Rogan episodes isn't "wokism") it puts my teeth on edge. On the other hand, that's how language works whether one likes it or not.
