This became easy to predict about 15 years into the neoliberal project.

It’s the regime’s new economic paradigm.

That is literally the opposite definition of the word.

Liberal means a political advocate of protecting personal rights and freedoms, unless those freedoms infringe upon the rights of others. I am very proudly liberal, myself.

If you were criticizing a specific liberal party or organization with liberal in the name that would be okay, but the post is about the USA where there is no Liberal Party. This is to say, the post can be interpreted to oppose liberalism as a concept. To conversely promote human beings not having rights.

Liberal means a political advocate of protecting personal rights and freedoms... if you're white bro.

Read a history book sometime about the actual history of liberals and liberalism.

If it's only for white people it fails the definition.

My definition lies in that "unless" clause
