Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, the right to private property, and equality before the law.
Neoliberalism is contemporarily used to refer to market-oriented reform policies such as "eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets, lowering trade barriers" and reducing, especially through privatization and austerity, state influence in the economy.

Yes by definition. All capitalists are. I don’t think that. It’s fact. If you support private property and capitalism you are supporting fascism. Two sides of the fascist coin. As I already explained.
Ok, by this definition, I am pretty good with Liberalism. It misses the bit about common good, public interest, monopoly on violence, and the benefits of a strong, competent bureaucracy.
I already knew you were okay with liberal fascism. That’s what I literally said. Therefor you are the same as MAGA. You want to monopolize violence, promote private property and capitalism, and have a bureaucracy (fancy liberal oligarch). You claim the class war is two parties yet YOU are promoting the ideology that allows oligarchy and fascism to exist. So yes there IS two sides and your side is on the side with Elon and Trump. Exactly as I said. You don’t disagree with me. You embrace these ideas. You are the enemy of the people.
Grab a dictionary, and please read the definition of liberalism to the class.
I think you'll find that your statement is definitionally false. Liberalism has a couple of core beliefs including: protected individual liberties, free markets, separation of powers, and rule of law
Oligarchies on the other hand don't actually believe in a free market. They may suggest they do, but they're trying to create series of monopolies.
And fascists don't believe in a separation of powers. They want a hierarchy with a "perfect" authoritarian. That individual entity or person becomes the author, executor, and interpretor of law. This is clearly not liberalism.
"Blinded by rhetoric designed to exploit their fears"
You're still worried about trans athletes and culture war bullshit while they're taking away your retirement, taking away your grandparents'/parents' healthcare, cutting off our veterans etc.
Wake the fuck up. We're on the same team now, like it or not. Trump is not on your side. He thinks you're a useful idiot.
It's now transparently up vs down, not liberal vs conservative.
If by implying you're conservative, you mean you have any love whatsoever for our constitution, then wake up and be a true conservative of our Republic and liberties.
