I'm not a Liberal, per se, but at the same time when I'm called one I never actually find it to be insulting....
But yet and still whomever calls me one seems to ride off into the sunset high-five-ing anyone along their path. I guess I'm just out of date on this one. --- R.I.P. Bilbo-Swaggins: Victim of the CommunistFAQS Regime |Brian-Dawkins|http://i.imgtc.com/5yil6xS.jpg. ... Copied to Clipboard!

There have always been pejoratives used by the opposite side. Decades ago it was hippie. Now it's liberal. Conservative is a pejorative in itself

When did it start referring to 'leftists' rather than 'classical liberals' in the US? Or was the latter always just the European definition? As a European (Brit), it kinda annoys me when used as the former.

I mean, it's not like liberals aren't liberal and conservatives aren't conservative; they are only insulted when someone else identifies them as such when said person isn't aligned with that group...doesn't make it an insult, right?
It's not like calling someone a dumbass because there are groups out there that are "dumbass-leaning," or some-such nonsense... --- R.I.P. Bilbo-Swaggins: Victim of the CommunistFAQS Regime |Brian-Dawkins|http://i.imgtc.com/5yil6xS.jpg. ... Copied to Clipboard!

_OujiDoza_ posted...Seneca_Wallace_ posted...For the same reason that "conservative" can be used as an insult NO..... It's hard to explain properly (at least for me, anyway). So if I go "toast, you're such a damn liberal" would you consider that an insult? I mean, if you were in fact a liberal before, some ass-wipe using it in that tone shouldn't really move the needle for you all of a sudden now, should it? --- R.I.P.

As a European (Brit), it kinda annoys me when used as the former. It's become a general term for people with views on the left by people on the net (Sometimes it's just used to refer to people that don't like Trump despite the fact the right wing hates him too). Honestly it's a meaningless "insult" that shouldn't even bother people being called it ... Copied to Clipboard!

For me TC, it's the fact that I would have proudly declared I am a liberal 5 years ago.
But now the loudest voice liberals have are the far left. So declaring I am a liberal makes me look insane. I am still technically a liberal, but I cannot support a lot of the far left rhetoric. --- RIP: Canuklehead, Karma: 1369 // RIP: Gen_Lee_Enfield, Karma: 1731 // RIP: Orlando of the Axe, Karma: 1642 --They delivered! ...

Nope, I find it funny when ce labels me either way because it shows that they can't defend their argument outside of a black and white view point that never holds up in reality Insults aren't insulting based on the impact, they are based on the intent. --- If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all ...

When those who claimed to be liberals chained it to the SJW doctrine of destroying freedom and a bunch of self important tools thought that they were so much smarter than everybody else started to call themselves liberal in a feeble attempt to make themselves look better.

Since liberals are now all far left and conservatives are all racist nazi's...
