Liberals saw us (and by us, I mean MANY former democrats) as racist, sexist, homophobic, etc... and we just saw them as misled and ignorant. They hated us. We usually just take pity on them. Sure, there are some mean spirited people out there in camp MAGA, but most of us just wanted people to wake up to what is really going on. Your journey has been great to watch.

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

Actually, old school conservatives, such as LIBERATRIANS, are the ones that say you can believe whatever you want, and do whatever you want - as long as you're not harming anyone else or their property. Liberals and libertarians agree on a lot of things, but sometimes for different reasons. A liberal will believe in something because they think it is progressive. Whereas a libertarian will believe in the same thing, but for the sole reason that the person is free to do what they want as long as they are not harming anyone else. The main difference between these parties though, is the SOCIAL SAFTEY NET. Libertarians believe in a very limited government and that power needs to be limited to avoid corruption - whereas liberals believe in having many social programs and a larger government. Then we get into leftists, who are not liberals, but seem to have got labeled as liberals because they are on the democratic ticket. Leftists hate America, hate freedom, hate freedom of speech, want to compel and force other to do things (like buy insurance, get shots, speak a certain way, etc). They love big government and central planning and are entitled to think that rich people should pay for everything.

[@intermidable]

Couldn't have said it better, thank you.

[@brunosm.l2267]

What is confusing here is the mix of the name of the party and the actual political philosophy. Liberals in most of the world means those who adhere to liberalism. The party of the US doesn't follow that philosophy exclusively (although the US in itself is founded on liberal principles), they are more like social democrats when it comes ti the role of the State. Libertarianism isn't the same as classical liberalism. Libertarianism comes later mostly with the Austrian economic schoolf of though, and follows the principles of classical liberalism but to an extreme. Is mostly economic thought based on the moral principles and axioms of classical liberalism: Milton Fridman, Hayek, Rothbard, etc. They also don't have exactly the same views in everything, Rothbard is the mort anarchocapitalist of them, the most "libertarian" (he was in favour of abortion, made a case in favour selling your children, etc.). The point is that libertarians base themself on classical liberalism, but not all classical liberals are libertarians.

[@brunosm.l2267]

Also, what you call leftists is not really leftists. Liberals (the party) has elements of economical leftism as a social democracy. But the "leftist" you're referring to are a mix of that, liberalism in ideology (individualism and "your own happiness") and what we call wokism, which isn't leftism, but an extention of liberalism with a globalist agenda of progressive causes (gender ideology, ecology, and all the other items of the 2030 agenda). In other words, you might not like Marx, Stalin, Bakunin etc., but they have nothing to do with the woke minsed thosen international organizations. The reason we call it left is because left and right are relational terms, that evolve in history, but philosohically there's no relation. The problem with the globalists is not the problem with the marxists.

[@senzhao4214]

@@brunosm.l2267 The term "liberal" has been misused. Today, all liberals pursue "freedom" rather than "liberty." Classical liberalism thinkers who explored "liberty," such as John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, and John Stuart Mill, were focused on the boundaries between government and the individual. Nowadays, all liberal issues seem to fall under the category of "freedom," including those advocated by right-wing liberal scholars like Murray Rothbard, who promotes anarchism, insisting that individuals have unlimited freedom to do whatever they wish, such as using drugs or changing their gender, all without government interference, with economic issues being resolved by private companies. On the other hand, left-wing liberals bizarrely seek to enlist the government's help to solve problems-such as advancing LGBTQ rights, abortion, and environmental issues-which is reminiscent of how socialist states require an all-powerful government to take over everything.

Democracy has nothing to do with elections. It's when there is an official governing body called a Demos which holds Cratos, hence why the inventors of this system named it Demoscratos. The US doesn't have anything even resembling a Demos. Switzerland, Luxumbbourg, etc are examples of countries with a Demos as a ruling body (that Demos holds Cratos) , and they pracrice Demoscratos (Switzerland has multiple of these, but they call theirs Cantons)

"Liberal" as a term was appropriated by far leftists back in the 50s and 60s. There's a lot of deceptive language games in politics. You are correct that what we in the US call "conservative" is, today, much more aligned with what would have been called classic liberalism. "Liberal" came to be associated with Marxism when the Marxists started calling themselves liberals (because they had thoroughly trashed by their actions the moniker of "progressive" in previous decades) while pushing ever-leftward ideology. It's kinda funny now that the term "progressive" has come back into vogue, as the far left has trashed the term "liberal" in the political discourse of the US. Give it a while and they will come up with another deceptive label for themselves. Props to you, Harmony, for figuring it out on your own. By any rational reading of the positions and goals of the two major American parties, the Republicans are currently actually the liberal party, and the Democrats represent a more authoritarian option.

I think Elon's picture of him standing just left of the middle then the extremists run far left and call him a racist is accurate. Most Americans have not moved. Conservatives are still the same as always. Most old liberals are the same. It's just the young that have been radicalized who are setting their hair on fire (or shaving it off) are having a hard time reconciling that Americans have always changed positions to address the current situation.

Liberalism is a spectrum. There is "classic liberalism" and then there is modern day "progressive liberalism." I think most classic liberals have moved away from the term liberalism because they do not relate to progressivism. The Walkaway Campaign has been a doorway of sorts for people to wake up and realize that they do not have to commit to extreme leftist views. I have always been center-right leaning, but the progressives now consider that to be "far right." I'm still classically center-right leaning. I walked away from the alphabet community because it was swallowed by an insanely crazy shark that no longer represented me. I am not a fan of cults.

I wish there was a discord or something we could all chat about this stuff, because I can inform everyone on the nuanced differences of the terms being used. A Democracy is strictly majority rule which can become tyrannical pretty quick.

Each state is it's own sovereign entity, that is allowing the federal government to impose some laws upon it.

No, democracy and republic are not the same things...very different. Democracy is solely the popular vote determines who is elected and what laws are enacted. We do not do that at all. A republic, which we are, is when people vote for representatives to vote for us, as we do with the electoral college and what we do having Senators and Congresspersons, who then enact our laws. Most don't realize how the electoral college works because it is very confusing, but we really are not really voting for the candidate when we vote. We are voting for state electors, so they can then vote on our behalf. We're voting for a party's electors in our state, not for the Presidential candidate. For example, if we vote for Trump, we are actually voting for our Republican state electors to get the votes so they can vote for Trump for all of us. State Electors and Congresspersons do not have to follow what we vote on and vote the way we want either. Democrat electors could win and go in and vote for the Republican, but that would be disaster and complete chaos in an election, and they would never be nominated as an elector for their party again. Same as when Congressperson's votes doesn't follow what their constituents want, they are not re-elected.

[@ryanellsworth7246]

Star Trek did a good example of this. They depicted a world that was a true democracy. Anytime someone was accused of a crime the government would put the evidence before the people and they would have a spontaneous vote on guilt. The problem is, most people relied on the opinion of the government and innocent people were convicted due to the bias in the presentation. So it becomes a popularity contest that is easily swayed by whoever is in control. In a republic, at least the people have the ability to review the actions of those we elect and can replace them, as long as the elections are fair.

[@oldconservativedude79]

Thank you for looking into classical liberalism and sharing what you found. It is great seeing how much you are enjoying what you have found out. I would like to share why I continue to make a distinction between a democracy and a republic. For me, there is an historical distinction that I find quite significant. That distinction is that a republic provides protections for minorities that a true democracy does not. I agree that the way the word "democracy" is usually understood today means the type of government we have. It may seem like nit picking to draw that distinction, but you might find the historical context interesting. The founders of our country were great students of history and of human nature, and they intentionally avoided creating a direct democracy for various reasons, not the least of which was they believed that direct democracy could lead to tyranny of the majority. Our founders wanted to protect minorities by creating a republic instead of a true democracy. Pure democracy existed in ancient Greece, and was practiced in some of the city-states there and in small communities in other countries as well. I suspect that our founders' fear of direct democracy stemmed from their knowledge of problems it had caused where it had been tried. Another reason to avoid direct democracy was that it would not be practical in a larger country like ours. I just did some searching online to confirm what I am saying, and I found the following on one webpage. Start of quote *** Marvin Simkin said: “Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99 percent vote.” True democracy is the tyranny of the majority. True democracy is mob rule. Thankfully, we do not live in a democracy. We live in a republic. Article IV Section 4, of the Constitution: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of government … ” And living in this republic means that every voice matters, majorities do not rule and those with the loudest voices do not automatically win. The will of the people means all of the people. Eubanks pointed out that the Founding Fathers worried about the tyranny of the majority and safeguarded against it, and that the Constitution works well by not allowing it to happen. End of quote *** That does a good job of describing my understanding of the difference between a democracy and a republic. I learned that distinction decades ago, probably when I was in High School. The protection of the rights of minorities is the feature of a republic that means the most to me. I am not trying to change your mind, but I thought you might find this interesting.

Conservatism doesn’t mean “controlled thought.” It’s the belief of preserving traditional values. Politically speaking conservatives specifically want to preserve the constitution.

[@scottjustin9800]

You are mostly correct when it comes to social issues. In common parlance "liberals" believe in a large taxpayer funded social safety net to help those that cant or choose not to help themselves. Conservatives believe in much smaller government, where the taxpayer pays for military, infrastructure and to provide for those that due to age, or infirmity, can not provide for themselves. For example, student loan forgiveness for people that studied liberal arts and sciences in college and find themselves unable to parlay their degree into a a decent paying job is revolting to conservatives. Said "forgiveness" is bestowed upon these people through national debt or raised taxation on people that are not beneficiaries of the program. There are no conservatives in favor of this program. Since Biden tried to enact it, no prominent liberal has spoken out against it. In conclusion, most republicans (Gen X or younger) have a "live and let live" approach to life. Living and let live, to conservatives, does not include forcing obscene spending policy upon the population.

Your content, thoughts and journey are authentic and joyful. Thank you for sharing. As someone who would describe myself as conservative, I don't disagree with your definition of liberalism. There are a lot of words that get thrown around: republican, democrat, liberal, conservative, left, right, far left/right, socialism, fascism, progressive... I am concerned your study on what conservatism is was polluted by leftist thinking authors. I don't think of conservatism in contrast to liberalism, I think of conservatism in contrast to progressivism or leftism. And a big part of recent cultural polarization is caused by the Democrat party leadership abandoning classic liberalism and embracing "extreme" progressive leftism. There is evil over there to be sure (ideas, not individuals). While the Republican party has moved toward the center, the Democrat party has moved aggressively to the left. Maybe this election is the final consequence that will pull Democrat leaders back toward the center (I have my doubts). Final thought on Republic vs Democracy: You are not wrong when you say they are basically the same. A Republic is a type of Democracy where voters choose representatives who perform the actual minutia of democratic governing. Its like saying Bourbon is Whiskey but Whiskey isn't Bourbon (not a great analogy unless you drink Whiskey). The more politics you study, the more you will see how much work it is to find truth between the biases. It takes time and commitment.

[@479sam]

There are some important distinctions between a democracy and a constitutional republic. In a PURELY democratic state, for example, 51% of the voters could vote to abuse the 49%. The “constitutional” part of our government puts checks in the power of what voters can do, so that we don’t fall into a tyranny of the majority, which is what many democracies decay into. This way, the majority can’t vote away your ability to say what you want, believe what you want, defend yourself, or vote away your right to own property. We are called a republic to distinguish ourselves from the other form of government that was common at the time of our founding - a monarchy, or, today, a dictatorship. A republic is also more practical than a pure democracy; in a pure democracy, the voters would be responsible for knowing everything about the law, it’s limits, the inner functioning of government, and would constantly have to keep up to date with every square inch of politics, the problems facing our nation, and what the potential solutions would be.

[@leschatsmusicale]

The concepts of liberal and conservative have shifted around over time, but there is one major difference that is a strong predictor of which party or ideology people lean towards. It's called the disgust factor and it can be seen on a functional brain MRI. It's how our brains respond to the things we are confronted with, such as how other people look, or how clean things are, or what values are represented by an image. People who tend to react to many things with disgust will lean right or conservative. Vice versa people who don't react with disgust to things that usually disgust most people, such as mouse droppings, will tend to lean left or liberal. The average liberal will tend to be more open and accepting of differences, which seems like a great idea until it gets to the point where society is allowing a lot of things that disgust other people. That’s how liberal tolerance gets perceived as evil. On the other hand, highly disgusted people who lean right tend to get perceived as authoritarian or fascist. The left responds to that with reactive authoritarianism and tries to legislate morality to protect special groups. There's real value in that, up to a point, but when it goes too far society becomes very dystopian. Liberals are the seemingly nice well meaning people who go along with tolerance and acceptance, until it leads to something bad enough to trigger their own disgust response. Then liberals have to recalibrate their value system or flip flop their position on certain things. That's part of why the definition of liberalism seems to move around so much.

I buzzed my hair in 2020 cuz it was horribly damaged from years of bleaching and dying. I maintained that until this year, been trying to grow it out again. Its so hard to resist the buzz now! It just simplifies so much! I'll probly give in soon ngl. Also I'm 40 and I've had to change my association over the years. I now think of myself as a classical liberal. And let's keep in mind that the parties have switched twice sinse the country was founded. It was Republicans that freed the slaves but it was Democrats that backed the civil rights movement. And now I think its switching again. Loving your channel, you're so smart

[@navyblue76]

Parties never really switched, just came to be defined differently by the public due to the parties racial makeup and Democrats big push for working class in the 60's - 70's. Both parties supported the civil rights movement, but there were stronger opposition from states that had heavy republican presence in the South, so Democrats started using that (calling Republicans as racist even now) as a political weapon for election purposes. Keep in mind that many Democrats from those states also opposed desegregation.

[@ryanellsworth7246]

"This whole country is liberal." USA conservatives want to conserve American liberalism, which is classical liberalism. So, when I hear people suggesting new things like laws and protections or anything I always ask, "Are we gaining or losing a freedom if this passes?"

You don't think they would, but in most of the Western world, free speech is becoming a thing of the past. "For safety " That's what the left is doing. Liberal is to liberate away from government or sovereign rule. The left is socialist on its way to communism. Social safety nets welfare state, medical decisions, o n and on and on. Changing the definition of words to excuse or hide their inequalities and to slander anyone who doesn't fall in line. Nazi , transphob, white nationalist, racist white Christian nationalist, misogynist. You could probably play a bingo card game and have it filled before the opening monolog is done on most mainstream news. The maga movement isn't far right. That's why the party is full of peaceful Liberals and democrats. That's why the republican party has always fought against it. Although the neocons are thinning out and some are switching to the war mongering democrat party.

I have been looking in on your channel for a little bit now. I'm conservative and a "Trumper". Yes, dems and republicans have kind of flip flopped over the years, but I would suggest you dig a little deeper. Liberals nowadays are simply a loud minority, far from a majority. Are they evil?? No lol. I would not state that the country is a liberal country. Your channel has done really well since a good chunk of conservative viewers have opened up to you. We are open and welcoming to SANE liberals (like yourself), but no conservative would appreciate being told that we are all liberals under the skin.

[@Imperialdegree]

Yea i agree we are mostly liberal but the overton window has shifted so far left that we centrist or slightly left leaning people look like we are much farther right than we are. Edit: i do think youre wrong about the democracy vs republic thing. They are similar but they arent the same. Democracy is 1 person 1 vote and we are only that on a local scale. We are a constitutional republic though. We have representatives that we t3ll how we want them to vote which is not what a democracy does.

Many people in this country are practically living in different ideological realities now, and you can trace it back to whether people accepted the official narrative about 9/11 or questioned it.

[@foreverstrong8588]

When you say most Americans are liberals.. That's kind of a loaded bag.. Because a lot of liberty minded people who might be classified as classical liberal is COMPLETELY different than the modern term used for liberals. Modern liberals are hyperfocused on social justice and equality of outcome. Which when you think about it.. has nothing to do with the classic definition of liberty. Because in order to enforce societal equality by outcome and not opportunity.. it then changes from a freedom/liberty minded experience to an experience to force the outcome while removing opportunities from others. In a poor attempt at feigning social justice. Modern liberals are more concerned about getting their way through any means necessary, including fascistic means. It has nothing to do with freedom. While I would agree personally with much of classical liberals may say in regards to rights and freedoms, I lean slightly conservative as well. Though I'm not sure the definition of conservatism you gave accurately represents what i would say the majority of conservatives would agree with. While some would definitely say you need a big government.. I think most conservatives are simply concerned about losing traditional values that our society used to hold much more value for. Many conservatives you'd find saying they are not a big fan of too much government. As for the "Federalists " back in towards the founding of the USA, that's typically where many get confused I'd imagine with conservatives and big government. The federalists back in the day were proponents of having a large centralized government. They were also characterized as conservatives..

[@kristinabc1143]

You don't need a political tag to be evil. "Liberal: Favoring reform, open to new ideas, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; not bound by traditional thinking; broad-minded.". I say this as a fiscal conservative and liberal social critical thinker. How you treat others and your actions are what determines good and evil and those can be done by people in any political party.

[@StarsDie88]

Yup. I literally call myself a "LIberal Conservative". This separates me from a myriad of other types of conservatives like neoconservatives, traditional conservatives, theocratic conservatives, social conservatives and Republican loyalists etc... And it separates me from people who are basically just leftists, progressives, Democrat loyalists, socialists/dem soc/communists. And it's different from "classical liberals" who are basically just right wing libertarians. My views mostly align with the 80s and 90s ACLU platform. That old ACLU platform was "liberal", but in the modern era it is now conservative. And this is what I describe myself as -- while being a Trump voter.

[@TheLola2824]

Not sure why this popped up for me but the best way to understand what is what is to go back to the beginning. Go read the federalist and anti-federalist papers. There is a reason for example that Republic is and was the chosen form of government. Some founders were concerned that a pure democracy (rule of the majority) would give itself over to the changing passions of men (humans in general) and politicians would just constantly pander to whatever was popular to gain power (not that we're that far from that now). But essentially they were in some ways populists in the sense of regarding the citizenry but in other ways also concerned with an uncontrolled sort of populism where a basic majority or what we call mob rule could vote away the rights of an individual. So a Republic is an attempt to protect the rights of the minority through rule of law while also instituting representation that represents the population accordingly. As for the distinctions between terms on the liberal and conservative sphere, it depends on the POV you take in terms of politics. As an American, I would basically ignore global politics and start from the US founding. I say this because at the time of the founding, libertarians were/are closer to what the founders were but this is where the debates on the federalist and anti-fed sides also begin (it might be more apt to think of them as libertarian at least in terms of centralized power). They were classical liberals or more so libertarian in the sense of natural rights and in their attempt to rein in a federal government (the US Constitution is a document that chains and limits the federal government and not the citizens) but other things also had an influence such as Greek and Roman ideas of government and Republics, as well as religious inputs. Now, fast forward, what in the US is considered conservative for the most part are people that at least theoretically are seeking to conserve this US founding ideal in terms of government and people's relationship with and to it. In basic terms conservative as a whole in any country really is the faction that usually leans more towards tradition. In the US though, that tradition is tied to classical liberal/libertarian beginnings so from a classical perspective what conservatives seek to conserve is this tradition because that is the founding of the United States. And yes, throughout the 200+ years, parties have come and gone, and economic policy on both sides has shifted a bit over time. Also, the debate between federal vs. state govs and powers has also shifted on all sides and even more so after the Civil War which really redefined a lot. Now, where it gets complicated really is in the term liberal as used today in modern times. Liberals are supposed to still in some sense also adhere to some of these same principles if only from a philosophical perspective and to an extent they did until recently which is why in 80s, 90s (even in decades before) both sides were closer to each other with a few varying differences particularly in economic policy. However, as liberals went more left you have another faction rising called progressives and progressives tend to veer more towards the socialist/communist wings. So from a US perspective if you plot on one side political and economic policy that leans towards big government/central planning/centralization and on the other side decentralization, you'll have on the right extremes more libertarian/ancap types and even anarchists that believe in no or very, very small government structures if any and a more decentralized social organization of sorts; then you move more towards conservatives that again from a US founding perspective believe in having government but at a smaller scale than say modern liberals who advocate for more government safety nets and government involvement; and then to the furthest left are the progressives who want even more government centralization and control at the government level. But again, this is mostly US based. This breakdown changes a bit when looking at it from other countries POV because those other countries have their own histories and traditions and cultures. So in this sense what is "conservative" in the US is not necessarily what is "conservative" in another nation. From the POV of some middle eastern traditions, conservatives in the US might appear liberal in some aspects. From some western european POVs, liberals might appear a bit conservative depending on who we're referring to. So it's best to just look at it within the US historic tradition and just go back to the debates the founders were having on all the issues because most of what we discuss today were ironically discussions they already had in the 1700s in terms of policies and government powers. I wouldn't focus too much on the labels and more on the policies being proposed and how it all fits within the Constitutional and founding structure of the US. And of course the founders made the Constitution amendable for a reason but to understand where you're going you have to look into where you came from and why certain things were done the way they were. You can't take something apart thinking you can make it better without fully understanding all the moving pieces.

[@melissacoxen6001]

I did want to make one example for when you said democracy and Republic. There is a difference. A democracy is a rule of the majority. No matter what the majority says is done. A constitutional Republic (which is what we are) means that a majority rules.... BUT it's done through a constitution. A constitutional Republic protects the minority party. The majority can't do whatever they want no matter what simply because more people say yes. It puts guard rails on the power of the majority to take from the minority. That's why it's important to have the distinction between a democracy and a constitutional Republic. If we allow it our rights will be taken by the more powerful. A constitutional Republic protects us, and ensures the power of the people will always be protected.

[@arsbadmojo]

I don't believe there is really much true evil in people; almost everyone has good intentions. A good question to ask might be 'how many current conservatives started out as liberals'?

[@ct6852]

The whole country is founded on classic liberal principles. Capital L Liberals often want to expand rights and protections, and for governments to provide more services and rights for individuals and unions. Think healthcare for all citizens, more roads, libraries, planned affordable housing, rent-control, nationwide internet, more funding for education. Which often requires higher taxes (and opportunities for corruption). We all have personal responsibilities and things we take care of ourselves, and things we have to do together as a society, because it's the only possible way to get it done. Like insurance. A lot of the political battles are about what we want to focus on and spend on. Hence why it's a never ending discussion. The right/left divide is often about population density. Bit cities often lean left because people there rely on public infrastructure, transportation, and big construction projects, as well as more rules and regulations that keep people safe. Often from each other. It definitely gets complicated. And people get confused and upset and call the other side evil because the system is overwhelming, and favors a rich elite more than average joes. Despite whatever labels we put on ideologies, the debate will always be ongoing in a democracy, because we are all allowed a say and a vote. And money will always speak volumes. On this plain, at least.

[@triplejmom7826]

We all have the right to life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness. My rights end where yours begin & vise versa. Conservatism & liberalism have begun to switch around, if you will.

I see myself as independent with conservative leanings. Once upon a time liberals rebelled against conservatives & now it’s the reverse. All for freedom, go figure.

[@tattedandgatted]

Classic liberalism is now libertarianism. Current liberalism is authoritarianism. The only only time liberals defend the constitution is when it effects them. Example...1st ammendment , 2nd ammendment, 4th ammendment, 5th ammendment, 10th ammendment are just ones off the top of my head. Conservatism is not what you found. You need to do better research.
