The issue is that “liberal” in itself doesn’t say anything about where you fall on the left/right spectrum. It just says you want less regulation of some sort, which can apply to a lot of things. To rail on “liberals” on the internet without using more precise language is naive at best, deliberately inflammatory at worst.

Look, I get it - “liberal” may just be one of the most bastardized terms you get to work with in the political context. It might just meam anything, depending who you are speaking with. That said, OP is being explicit in the description and his definition is as academic as it gets. So I still really don’t get all the fuss.
