No one believes you

have you seen the ratio

Because clearly fascist symbolism is not given a pass.

the literal fasces is all over US government buildings and symbols

over petty debates about terminology and language

they were defederated over ableism and transphobia of one of their powermods, and the implicit support of those things by the head admin. we take that kind of shit seriously. we tried our best to make it work, but reactionary mods who are ableist in their modlog entries are not compatible with hexbear

Many non-liberals support capitalism

Which ones do you have in mind? I'm not even saying you're wrong, I can think of examples myself. (I did say it wasn't a 100% perfect definition) Nevertheless, it is still the definition I truly use. If I saw someone defending capitalism I would call them a liberal regardless of whether it was 100% accurate.

What? Do you look in the dictionary to find exhaustive encyclopedia articles about topics? Do you need me to define capitalism too, is that why my definition is too vague? Do you need me to define "support?" What part of my definition are you confused about?

If someone asks you what a tuque is, are you unsatisfied until you have talked about the Welsh town of Monmouth and the methods they used in the 15th century to stitch caps? Or would you tell them that it's a knit fucking cap

That's not a definition, that's an extremely thorough article about liberalism.

Words only have meaning if their definition is agreed upon

I mean you really don't have to agree, you just have to understand. It doesn't matter what you think the definition of liberal should be as long as you know what I mean when I say it. And now you do. So, how about you define your terms now so that there can be effective two-way communication? As it stands, the communication only goes one way. You understand me, but I don't understand you. That doesn't seem very fair. From the article you linked:

Through all these strands and traditions, scholars have identified the following major common facets of liberal thought:

• believing in equality

Please resolve the inequality present in this conversation.

No, liberals are people who support capitalism. It might not be a 100% perfect definition but it's the one I use. Now you know the definition of my term, how about you define yours?

did you just threaten to get your ass whooped

This but unironically

Powerful posting right here

Hell yes, I love being a piece of shit who doesn't care about anyone else
