    The literal definition of Liberal, now and forever, yes. It often gets misused in this social circle because 1) Tankie Propoganda who oppose human rights and social progress in the west and 2) it’s often misused by political parties with the word in their name, but if you search the definition you find exactly what I said it is.

      Word of advice: The dictionary is a horrible source of authority when it comes to political discussions. You’re gonna have a bad time using it, since it ignores political and historical context.

      Nevertheless: OOP is correct.

      The literal definition of Liberal, now and forever, yes.

      Have fun never having any fruitful political discussions with that attitude. /s
