    I mean, this is just factually wrong. Usually these days when people refer to liberalism it’s shorthand for neoliberalism & understood as such. The only way you can make the reply you just made in good faith is if you are somehow blissfully unaware of the main tenants of the modern liberal movement for at least the past 30-40 years… and even then it’s not like classical liberalism was anything other than favourable to free market capitalists.

            I do hope you enjoy your ban. Liberals are far from the only political group that cares about human rights.

              If standing up for human rights is banworthy, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

                If you think this is standing up for human rights then, let me tell you, as a trans woman, I’m cooked.

                  Maybe because you don’t live in a country that empowered Liberals, maybe because you yourself oppose liberalism?
