    So you’re saying I was a liberal my whole life but just didn’t know it until I fortuitously came across this meme thread and all these helpful people pointed it out? Checks out 🤟

      Yes. yes-chad

      You live in the biggest liberal country, it's politics are liberal. It's ruling parties are flavors of liberalism, you just aren't aware of the terminology I guess. It doesn't help that the conservative wing of the liberals here label their opponents liberal, it's an easy misunderstanding to have.

      Just take 10 minutes (maybe make it an hour depending on your reading pace) and have a look at the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article

      Like unless you're a monarchist or some other weird regressive form of conservative, you are a liberal.

      Yes you have always been a Liberal because you exist in a hegemonic Liberal society, ie the only option presented ever are various flavors of Liberal. You are like a fish who doesn’t understand what water is because you’ve never tried to jump above its surface

              You're being deliberately obfuscating. Read the rest of the thread, they're literally responding to you, not making a universal claim about living in a country meaning you become that country's politics.

              I wish, unfortunately it’s very difficult to gain permanent residency in almost all of the socialist states and they are under intense siege and embargo by the dominant Liberal world order.
