It's also somehow labeled with republicans now like...
Classical Liberalism is essentially libertarianism which they all vote republican and hate their own candidates.

An extreme liberal is just a center-left person who is really annoying. They write Obama fanfiction and think Biden has unironically saved America already. They say all the correct virtuous things when prompted, but feel really uncomfortable when a Bernie or AOC causes division in the ranks.

Maybe America will be slightly left of center in 50.
We're approaching thought police kind of shit

Don't think that is slightly left of center

Because people got modded on the Internet?

Also, thought police are independent of the right-left dichotomy. Suppression of thought and individuality can occur in any society. Liberals are also inherently not extreme left.

That is not a good thing

Well the current people claiming to be liberal aren't really liberal. Liberal means free, and they don't believe in freedom.

The minorities that have been imprisoned and murdered throughout history for being "different"?

That is getting worse in America? Because handfuls of assholes have been ruined with bad press?

How many conservative lives have truly been ruined by disagreeing on tax laws or laughing at CNN and Hollywood?

Only when liberals become afraid to stand up and defend their core values. (A hypothetical example would be getting cold feet over opposing female genital mutilation, because opposition seems disrespectful of cultural differences.)

Trying to make a difference between "liberal" and "conservative" is a very American-centered point of view. They are both liberal as they support free market capitalism, conservatives are just more reactionary than liberals who are more open to progress in some aspects of society (religion & science for example). Both believe in maintaining the current structure a ruling capitalist class and a capitalist state.

Generously, liberals tend to want to ease some of the less pleasant extremes of capitalism, whereas conservatives tend to oppose things like welfare or tax increases. Some people view this as liberals want less capitalism and conservatives want more/more extreme capitalism but this is inaccurate. Both want to retain the current power structure.

Oh you're always so fun aren't you?

Of course it isn't as bad as some historical things

But we don't know where the slope leads to. And there is a long way down

That wasn't a whatabout, he was questioning your original thesis (lots of people's lives have been unfairly ruined by cancel culture). Are you going to answer his question and provide examples?

Yes, BLM, Antifa, and most violent socialist groups are the extreme of liberal side. Most liberals are center left with those who vote blue no matter who being the Democratic establishment types.

There are already people here that are too far left. The right is worse though. For now.

they'll crawl back into the woodwork and let us forget they exist and let the left go extreme and make them appear right and they'll win an election again and then we'll be in the same mess as we were the last 4 years

Classical liberalism is "bad" now, for some reason.

people have spent using the last 10 years calling themselves that as an excuse to ally with neoconservative movements like the tea party and gamergate while also not wanting to (at least initially) have the racial and religious connotations of neoconservatism applied to them. blame everyone misusing it, not the people noticing the trend

anyway yes op you can be an extreme version of literally anything if you are stupid enough, but american liberalism is difficult to do that with because it naturally lends itself to not wanting to rock the boat too much in times of pressure

The only solution is to crackdown on both extremes equally and harshly.

Just take a look at the omg Kyle rittenhouse is on the run topic. People taking things out of context like crazy. These same people will point out the conservatives for doing the exact same thing with Biden or whoever. People just cant step away from their biases and look at things in context.
