Those two terms (including 'left' and 'right') get bandied around a lot. But what do they mean? I get the feeling that each person who uses one of those terms has their own idea of what those terms mean. This is what they mean to me.
Liberal comes from 'liberty' and conservative mean 'to conserve). As a liberal, I think personal freedom and liberties are the most important. That is in contrast to the conservative who wants to keep what was; change is bad. I think of both terms in relationship to the French Revolution. The revolt was mainly against the Divine Right of Kings--all leaders are appointed by god, therefore what they do and how they do it is with the graces of god. The liberals wanted to liberate themselves from that type of government and system. Later came the conservatives who wanted to conserve traditional institutions, including the Divine Right of Kings. Government is to keep the playing field even, to protect all citizens and changes with the times. I see conservatives rely much more on tradition--traditional institutions are best and should be maintained. Change is of questionable use. Religions are naturally conservative since they have found the truth and all the answers. Why is one reason christians support trump because he has been anointed by god to be the leader of the US.
I also realize there is no such thing as a 'pure' political system. All have good points and bad points. But I think govt. should be based on a constitution (much like ours, only followed more closely than we follow ours) that emphasizes individual freedoms and the role and responsibility of govt. And the role and responsibility of citizens. Anyway, I am not pure liberal, for I think some socialist, conservative, communist, and others types of govt should all be in the mix. If that makes me a leftist, then I embrace that label. Extremes on any side are not healthy and I distance myself from extreme left or right. Yet I see the extreme right to be much more violent.
War of Semantics ... basic to War of Propaganda. Words are meaningless in the minds, mouths and pens of humans. Animal grunts.
We have discussed this here in the past, about no agreement on jargon (aka hope to escape the confusion of regular language). If there is no agreement on terms, then then any discussion is avoided between aware people, only sheeple are fooled, because of misuse of meaning.
Bottom line? Behavior. I don't care how you define "is" ... if what you "is" is someone at my front door with a gun.

This is why American politics is Maoist. Why we are re-doing the Cultural Revolution of the 60s.
Going over the history and the evolution of these strains of political thought would be incredibly time-consuming and complex. Suffice it to say that they both stem from the Enlightenment, reject the divine right of kings, and favor a representative democracy form of government.
Probably the defining feature showcasing how they've diverged is their view of social/political change. Broadly speaking, liberals tend to advocate for reform while conservatives tend to be skeptical of such reform and have a more traditionalistic bent.
Over time, the American parties have picked up specific policy platforms - abortion, guns, gay marriage, climate change, etc.
Imho, there are currently 3 big issues that are pretty telling on which side of the fence a person lies: the role of religion in society and government (should "people of faith" lead government?), is immigration overall a good or bad thing?, and do we need a "strong leader (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_authoritarianism)" to preserve the republic and crackdown on violators of social norms?
The only "people of faith" is US government, is "faith" is corrupt politics and corrupt globalist corporations/banking. Controlled immigration is good for the US, less good for Europe (they are overpopulated). But both government and corporations and universities want to export all jobs to China, and import all the Chinese students to our universities. This forces down American wages, American unions and enables graduate school corruption of the universities.

The problem isn't conservative/liberal, but stupid conservative/stupid liberal. Robber baron Jay Gould bragged in 1886, that he could hire “one-half of the working class to kill the other half,†and he proved he was right in the first strikes of the Knights of Labor. This is where the modern R/D fake dichotomy comes from.

Eric Weinstein's take on current leadership class, as he calls it, are spot on. When the (inteligensia) leaders are found lying for whatever reason, why should we listen to them further? If leaders can't show humility when being shown wrong and instead double down, any support and credibility they used to have is thrown out the window.

Imo, in the US there is a certain boilerplate political campaign. "I'm against bad things and for good things. I like America and apple pie. Vote for me and together, we can do vague good stuff!" If you put your thumb over the party affiliation, it can sometimes be hard to tell who is affiliated with which party.

I had an even crazier one, it was modern but shot like it came out of the early 80s with a similar ideology. Some female candidate in some heartland state ranting about America the beautiful and Jesus. Sadly, I lost the link a long time ago. Just as well, it was so off-the-rails that I think it might have been a clinically-diagnosed crazy person.

That is very true. Semantics figure in here a lot. I think I developed backward. My folks were not much into politics, but always voted Democrat. But did not talk about it. So I grew up with vague notions about it all. In college I was actually for the Vietnam war because of the domino effect and was very anti-commie. Then I was drafted, begged off a year longer from the service because I was already registered in my classes. Did more background research into Nam and slowly realized it was not really about communism. And I began to realize that that word, 'communist' was a loaded word. It was used in different ways for different purposes, while nobody really defined it. Much like Baruch using the word as a club without really knowing what it is nor what it stands for. My intro into political propaganda and sound bites. I have to kind of chuckle; in college, at least at first, I was a Nam fan--go get em. When I was drafted and in the US Army (I was hoodwinked by the Army Intelligence Agent I talked to prior to my being drafted. Because of my history degree he suggested I become an Army Intelligence Field Agent and I agreed, so it cost me another year of service and I was no longer technically a draftee--I figured it would keep me out of Nam. Yeah, not too bright in those days.) I was anti-Nam. Catch-22 became my bible.
Anyway, left and right are much like the term commie; a charged word, one that is used and one is simply supposed to accept it as it is being used by the person uttering them. I don't use them much. I do label myself as a liberal for I think of the root word, liberty, and that is what I think is best--being as free as one can be. I think conservative as being the opposite of what I think of myself as. They like to conserve what is, and do not want to change it. Without change we cannot move forward and improve as a society.
To dig into any of these words is a complex task, one I'm not into at the moment. But I do find it funny that I was more conservative as a younger person. I find I am becoming more and more liberal as I age.
Yep, some people stand on their heads ;-) I was more liberal in the past, thought that only LBJ was evil, not all Democrats. Was a Democrat myself for 20 years. I have never feared, hated or oppressed gay people for example. So what label does that make me? It has been posted before, all these labels obscure thinking, not clarify it. Except as slogans for brainless armed militias.
So what triggers you? Who is your "baby Hitler"? Varies based on personal history and personality. Unlike some, I never spent any childhood in the Deep South ... never lived anywhere in pre-1975 segregation. Did live a few miles from Compton, so a few more miles from Watts, in 1965. Otherwise none of the inner city got close to me, until I was 34, when I lived in a Hispanic gang neighborhood for awhile, then moving to a inner city Asian neighborhood (Japanese American retirees though).

Think about words like 'absolutism'. Doesn't matter who uses it; an ordinary person, a historian, a politician... what it exactly tells today when used? There is a definition in books yeah...but where it fits now? What are we describing with it.
A completely different angle. Art. On the last couple of decades -more?- hyperrealism is on the rise. Why? Because I can show people a 'traditional' kind of painting and they would all find different qualities in it art wise, unless it showed strict traits of some modern art movement. But in/after contemporary art, while that would be only imitating, refering or borrowing a style in general sense, you don't get that reaction with hyperrealist paintings. It's what it is as in artistic expression.
Everything was percieved as solid and stable once has been dissolving so fast, people want to see/feel some stability; something that doesn't change under any circumstances and hold on to it. OK, I don't want to use that word but yeah the freaking postmodernism...*Runs.

I feel much the same about the fascist label. True fascism doesn't exist in today's modern western world. Sure people like Trump and many others are using pages right out of Mussolini and Hitler's playbook. Rhetoric about nationalism and trying to make victims out of the majority, but that doesn't make them facists.
What many liberals that like to label conservatives as fascists fail to realize is that fascism was originally a progressive movement. Mussolini was originally a socialist not a conservative.

Yeah, the idea that democrats actually want Soviet style communism or that republicans want Nazi style fascism is very attractive to binary-brained morons. Aside from them however I do think that many have shifted farther away from the center because we have a clueless, divisive idiot in office. He does not represent traditional conservative values (such as personal responsibility). I think moderate conservatives are finally starting to see this and will reject him this election.

I agree. And I'd also suggest there is no such thing (in the classical sense) as democracy, republic, communist, socialist or any other label for any government. All of them have taken parts of this and parts of that. The US is often labeled a democracy; it has never been that. The closest we can come I think is calling it a constitutional republic. Anyway, trumps view of what he wants to establish would be a lifelong dictator. He really doesn't care about labels and simply wants his way all the time.

There is good in bad in all types of the common "...isms", but some people have learned (or decided) that that their ideology is purely good and wholesome, and all other ideologies are purely bad and evil. When a person advocates an unadulterated ideology and rejects all others, say like Ayn Rand, he or she is an extremist in love with one part of an ideology, without seeing it's flaws. Ayn Rand was a binary thinker to the point of actually being stupid. And her vision was so narrow that her ideology never really caught on. The flaw was too obvious to those who were not caught in the binary trap.

While that is broadly true - I would add that modern neo-nazis are quite unlike their historic brethren - it is still pretty disturbing to see the rise of the "alt-right" with its attendant nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiment, appeals for a "strongman", and even publicly floating the idea of an "ethnostate" (e pluribus unum, what's that?)
There have also been calls - not from loonies, but from actual elected officials - to curtail the "lying press" and targeting several non-white representatives to "go back where they came from". Spoiler: most of them were born in America.
We even get oddly suspicious stuff like photoshopping a Jewish rival's nose to appeal to a racist caricature (https://gizmodo.com/republican-senators-campaign-accidentally-photoshops-je-1844527600).
Perhaps this shouldn't be viewed as a simple binary distinction - is and is not - but a spectrum.

Well, I have been watching this movie for over a decade here and a bunch of people in the same building showing the same movie think if the theatre burns down the so called first class seats are nonflammable.
Less than ten years ago, in this forum, black people being muredered by cops used to meet with 'they're the basic criminal group!' response. Munch's, Baruch's responses in essence were the exact, common attitude. Let's talk about if 'fascism' is real or not, moronic or what after another ten years, OK?
Because it's not just some word defined by two historical figures reduced to a couple of clowns in meme comebacks. When you're living through, it is life, and you have no idea where did it come from. That's the thing with us humans. If we are not affected by something directly, it virtually doesn't exist... more, it can't. And then it is too late...it is too bloody.
For all the passion and fiery protesting, the last few times I voted at the polls I saw very few young Americans in line. When I overhear heated political debates I will sometimes interject and ask "well, did you vote?" Usually conversation falls silent and you can hear the crickets outside. It is not just voting. There is some research to do. There are agendas to check out. Do you even know who your representatives are and what they are doing? It is taken for granted.

President/PM is a demi-god, same as in the days of Augustus Caesar.
I have had a manageable line when voting. But I still took advantage of the early-voting option (in person) when offered. Mostly old people do that. The idea that we have to all vote on just one day, is obsolete, and impractical in urban areas. Vote caging and voter pandering is why I would outlaw all political parties, not just the Communists.
Matt Taibi lays out where the Dems went off the rails ...
"America’s financial and political establishment has always been most terrified of an inclusive underclass movement. So it evangelizes a bizarre transgressive politics that tells white conservatives to fuck themselves and embraces a leftist sub-theology that preaches class as a racist canard." - Matt Taibbi
“ … in a broader sense the Republican voter is recoiling from urban liberal condescension.†- Matt Taibbi
After 2016 it became axiomatic that the Trump voter, or the Leave voter, was â€" without exception now â€" a crazed, racist monster. As detailed here multiple times, ruminations on Republican voter behaviors became not merely uninteresting to pundits after November 2016, but actively taboo. By 2020, the official answer to What’s the Matter with Kansas? was Kansas is a White Supremacist Project and Can Go Fuck Itself. - Matt Taibbi
This was revenge for President Ford telling NYC to drop dead in 1975. Why should R & I voters pay for D voter pandering, D party mismanagement? Basically run your elected jurisdiction like a drunk sailor, and expect the other bar patrons to pay up? I agree, both coasts, all D jurisdictions can go f*k themselves.
We have the same problem with mostly the youngsters. Then they came around at the locals in the capital and the biggest city when the difference was so tiny. Recount showed opposition actually won and the other side demanded a repeat in one city. Opposition has won. E: Nope sorry, something is wrong with this calculation. I have checked the difference it is 13 thousand something but there is a rise in the re-run. Otherwise turn out has been over 80% here and of course could be much better...
But then something tells me every first election after the outbreak will see a high turn out. LOL

The value of a college education in the US is collapsing.
?When a dozen students matriculate:
• Five drop out and find themselves stigmatized in the work place.
• Three graduate, but end up underemployed.
• Only four graduate and get a job that requires a college degree.
The system suffers from two major problems:
Egalitarianism is at the core of our college crisis.
The cost of college tuition has gone up 200% in the last twenty years, while wages, adjusted for inflation, have been flat."
First they came for the European universities, but since I wasn't a European, I did nothing
Then they came for the British universities, but since I wasn't a Brit, I did nothing
Then they came for the Ivy League universities, but since I have a brown thumb, I did nothing
Now they are coming for the community colleges, but now I have no one to teach me ;-)

Liberals disapprove of chattel slavery while practicing domestic and foreign wage slavery. So glad they are so ... virtuous.
To give liberally ... doesn' mean you hire them to work in a Chinese sweatshop. It means treating people like family ;-)
BTW - in the NT, being "free" meant not having to work for a living because of your wealth ... which means that other people, in various kinds of bondage "slave" worked for you directly or indirectly (you purchase goods and services). In Roman law, a manumitted slave, was a permanent employee of his former master (like a share cropper on the former plantation land owned by the former slave owner). Client meets patron.
So are you against indirect bondage as well as direct bondage, bondage where you were on your own as well as being owned?
Of course, in a family, the "pater familias" of the extended family was the boss of his blood relatives, adopted relatives, his clients and his slaves. So by treating a person like family, I mean as a blood/adopted relative. And as such, if you don't do as your told, you got corporal punishment. You should not be guilty of failing to show your "father" the respect society appointed him to.

Some people are predisposed to wanting something to fail, so they call it a failure, even when it succeeds. So socialism fails, even where it succeeds. Closing places that spread corona virus fails, even when it succeeds. "The social experiments of the 1960s proved to be an abject failure" (except for the experiments that improved society). As with all things, it depends on who you ask, and to what extent we borrow from socially unpopular ideologies, many of which contain worthwhile tools to the betterment of mankind. Just because something may be a little bad, doesn't make it all bad. The bad outcomes are usually the result of misuses based on greed and power. Calling something a failure, because you don't like it is fog brained thinking, although quite popular. On the other hand cutting aid to the poor is a success, even if that aid ends up exclusively in the pockets of the wealthy. Jarred Kushner: "Opening the economy represents a great victory over the corona virus (not my best example, but I love the stupidity of that claim so much, I just needed to put it someplace). Calling something failure or success because it violates a tenet of an ideology is about as incomplete as an assessment can be. However, it often looks quite nice on a bumper sticker.

Way too many! That video reminded me that I must have had (or still have) a fairy godmother watching over me. I've made some decisions in my life.....................one being drafted into the Army (Nam era) right out of college. I had already signed up for the next semester so my draft board gave me one more semester. I decided I'd join a branch that would keep me out of Nam. So, I talked to all branches--yes, even the Marines (told me how much pride each marine had as all of them were infantrymen--did not even wave, just left quickly). Army told me they could give me Area Studies which would fit my history degree--study an area, even learning the language and culture. Yeah--that sounds good. So, my little mind thought--for another added year (to make 3) I could keep out of Nam and do what sounded really interesting. So I joined. The Army. 1968.
Went to basic after the semester-not fun. Then on to advanced training in Balitimore, MD, of all places. My training was 18 weeks and each group had to have 50 men in it to start. So, I was in casual company for about 4 months. Not casual; did assigned duties. I was a prop guy for those undergoing Area Studies training. Good--yeah? I learned what I was to become--a spy. Where was there a need for bunches of spies-- in Nam! Fuck! Then my Fairy Godmother kicked in and the Fort commander called me into his office and told me my the next class would not start for another 4 months--would I accept a transfer to a Counter Intelligence class? Yep, yep, yep! That was 18 weeks of learning how to catch spies. Half way thru training I learned that for the last 11 classes, every single soldier was ordered to Nam! Fuck, fuck, fuckity, fuck! Wrote my will. Upon grad. was offered a dream sheet, where from a list of 8 areas/countries
We could pick 3; if possible we would be sent to one of them. But the prior 11 classes had had the same offer, soooo.........................I chose Japan. As did 2 others. All the rest picked Germany. 3 days later learned that all who had picked Germany got it! The three Japan pickers did not have orders yet. Updated my will. Waited a full week--updated my will again. Then the orders came and all of us got Hawaii. Yeah--Aloha!! That is as close to Nam as I got. Yeah, Fairy Godmother came thru. Lucky. If, at any time, my orders had come up Nam, I would have been on that plane. I would have gone. And I would have died--if not in body, for sure in mind. Looking back, FG has waved her wand several times. Fortunate for me. I have been lucky--and I am grateful to her for that!

I don't have any debt. I prefer to be the one collecting. The Fed and their fiat money do keep the stock market rolling no matter what. The market is completely disconnected from the actual economy. The best way for a typical young American to manage a decent retirement is to be in the Index ETFs for 20% of their salary. It is true that a declining/aging population will eventually send even the stock market sideways at some point.
I took almost 5 bills from the rich folks today, however I am still waiting to unload the overly expensive Apple I bought. At worse case the new iPhone 5G should do the trick, maybe I will even hold on for a while. Tesla is splitting tonight; Monday should be wild. I don't know where the phrase "licking my chops" comes from but I am doing that, maybe ;).
Someone who understands money, will have an eye on the back of their head seeing what the Central Banks are doing. And with the trade war with China, Apple may be over-valued (they are at max market capitalization now ... whatever goes up, must come down).
Not saying Central Bankers are pedophile Satan worshipping Freemasons. They don't have to be, to do criminal acts. Even Bernanke in 2008-ish admitted that the Federal Reserve was the cause of the Great Depression.
I have no idea where to turn, there are too many moving parts, and the movement is irrational. So inertia is my only guide. But I am reducing debt. You will not have seen my magnum opus on money a few months back, but basically a gold standard isn't the answer, keeping the Pound/Dollar artificially high during the 20s was the cause of much trouble (Churchill's failure as Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1925) ... because that is inherently deflationary. This is partly alleviated by the managed funds of many kinds, including Gold and Sliver ETFs, all tied to the Petra-Dollar. The monetary aspect of the economy isn't throttled by a small, slowly growing supply of gold held by Central Banks. But the cure is as bad as the disease (96% devaluation of the dollar).

Dynamic systems analysis (chaos theory) as a tool for economics, not just statistics and overly simple assumptions. Basically, you have to take private debt and corporate debt into the equations (which involve derivatives and integrals, not just lineal intersections) not just government debt. Government debt accelerates the economy like a sugar rush, but private and corporate debt neutralize that stimulus.
In our time period, political-economy is dominated by massive states with powerful governments. Economics in that case is interpreted to meet the needs of governments and banks, not meet the needs of people and commerce. In this culture also, it is assumed that states and governments and banks have nearly omnipotent powers. where they toot the tune, and the people and commerce dance (think Yosemite Sam vs Bugs Bunny),

I've got a couple of I Bonds like that from almost 20 years ago. What seemed like marginal interest then, seems extraordinary now. But I'm not interested in the stock market, even if I should be. I don't like watching the market, and taking a hit on Bonds is worth it to me. My banker talked me into opening a money market account because she thought I had too much in checking. She did some calculations, and it was better than nothing, so I transferred $20,000 to their money market. It wasn't a gold mine, but $50 a month was, well.... better than nothing. At six months, the monthly interest dropped to 58 cents, so I called the bank. She told me that other interest rate was only for six months. I apparently didn't read the fine print, and she apparently didn't feel like it was necessary to point that out.
Back during the early Reagan years, when the stock market stagnated year after year (because of high interest rates), I was in a money market fund that paid 17% interest if I remember correctly. But when Paul Volker got inflation under control, the rates dropped quickly and I dumped the fund, but when I dumped it, it was still paying way more than the 1% or less we see today.
I'd be happy with some 4.2% CDs today.
The fall in interest on savings was deliberate, by the Fed/Treasury in 2008/2009. It is the new normal, so that the government can expand the money supply (and stimulate non-main-street spending). It was never meant to benefit average person. The expanded money supply (see subsequent QE including this year) is designed to give the Elite a false sense of wealth and security. They don't take that money and spend it, they use it indirectly because it bolsters their credit and power rating (see Dragonball Z). The "rentier" class gets to spend more, but that is a small part of employment, and not much protection because financial services has let go lots of people every year since 2008.
This is why they economy took 10 years to recover ... the tax payer had to pay for all those Elite bailouts (which were needed because the Elite had put all their money into speculation like underwater basket weaving and CDS and mortgage-backed-trash. The crap on the Fed balance sheet was parked there, to alleviate a buyer's market. My mother never got much interest after 2008, lost $50k in one of her funds, and had to cannibalize her assets (because SS didn't cover enough). She wasn't elite enough, though she though she was (Little Orphan Annie). Basically $14 trillion was added to the credit card by Bush/Obama or over $42k per person in the US.

The Cathedral: Describes the broadly left leaning 'media academia complex' in which Western Liberal democracy is steeped. In broad terms, the juxtaposition of cultural Marxism and what is seen as democracy’s intrinsic tyranny where takers get to out vote makers.
It is a term coined by dark enlightenment bloggers and gaining increasingly widespread usage.
Since the Cathedral has ascended to global supremacy, it no longer has need for Founding Fathers, who awkwardly recall its parochial ancestry, and impede its transnational public relations.

Part of the problem with defining "liberal" and "conservative" is that the meanings change not only with respect to time but with geography. Boris Johnson is considered conservative with respect to the UK, but I'm pretty sure that were he in the US he would not be all that conservative.
Also the temporal and geographic differences are complicated by the very different history of the United States versus Europe. In Europe, looking to a bygone golden era leads back to kings. In the US, looking back to a bygone golden era leads back to a state of such reduced government it would scare the piss out of any modern progressive.

Liberalism today = Marxism in blackface, like Justin Trudeau, PM of the cringest Anglo country.
"Former NYT Reporter Challenges Dr. Fauci's Climate Change "Mission Creep"" ... part of Dr Death/Dr Blofeld euthanasia plans

"Researchers Find New Way For Criminals To Launder Money Using Bitcoin" ... Bitcoin came from CIA/NSA, who also control the drug and human trafficking trades ... the regular banks do the legal money laundering (see drug lords save banks in 2008-09). Link to the original public report ... wanna bet Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym?

"The British Army Of Wokeness" ... like Trump in the US, ban all Woman Studies/Race Studies graduates from the government and the military.
Maybe someday bitcoin or some other crypto/block chain will replace fiat money and central banks, but for now it seems like a pyramid franchise. Some people made a killing and sold out for good ole greenbacks.

Bitcoin? Mt Gox and many other embezzlements. FBI seizing e-money as part of anti-criminal raids. Vladimir Putin supports Etherium. Spare electricity generation in China used to mine Bitcoin? It will work as part of institutional transfers ... but not for the public. This isn't a game changer at that level.
If you have very verifiable money transfers, governments like that, not that will stop money laundering, because the governments are the chief money laundromat. But it gives them better control over organized crime (which works for them). Real Mafiosi settle accounts by trading stolen Old Masters, or with bullets ... no transparency.
The data format is a chain of non-deniable encrypted book entries that go back to the Creation. That gets unwieldy with a trillion consumer transactions per day. Just like the Internet-of-Things (small packets) requires infinite bandwidth. Universal e-currency (with every packet getting constantly larger) also requires unlimited storage and processing power.

"12-year-old suspended after teacher spots toy gun during virtual class" ... family services swat team sent in. Like when they arrested a little boy at school who made a gun out of his P&B sandwich.

Yeah, the various blockchain techs have applications far beyond currency such a property ownership, identity, music and other content distribution, ad nauseum. Storage and processing needs are high for sure but are distributed and that cost could come from ridding the system of all the centralized bloodsuckers. We shall see, LOL. It is championed as the next internet.
