Maybe I’ve been on lemmy too long. So confused on who liberals are anymore.
it comes down to capitalism vs socialism.
progressive + capitalist = liberal
progressive + socialist = leftist
US politics is weird. Liberal in the rest of the world is more aligned to socialism than capitalism. Leftist is way more extreme.
a liberal in the united states is a centrist in the rest of the world.
a leftist in the united states is a liberal in the rest of the world.
the united states is MUCH more conservative that the rest of the world
Indeed. I think I need to find a less US dominated instance maybe.
Lemmy.ml is less US-dominated than other general instances, though you can find country-specific instances.
