    lefties love to hate on liberals for whatever reason. Even though the definition of liberal is not very specific and encompassing.

    I still haven’t quite figured out why. Idk if people just don’t broadly understand the definition of liberalism in a political context, or if it’s just “hurr durr not lefty bad” shenanigans.

    on another note, if anybody in the comments has any expansive explanation to this, please, indulge my curiosity.

      I’m gonna invent my own political ideology (“I am not altogether on anybody’s side, because nobody is altogether on my side” and all that) and call it responsibilitarianism. OK, the word kinda defeats it alone. Point being that a political structure is as good as the fullness and equality of responsibility for its citizens.
