The meaning of social liberalism has changed. It used to mean you were for civil rights and were secular and sexually liberated and were for women's rights and were pro-choice. Now it means you get offended at minor things, engage in online bullying of anyone who doesn't toe the line, virtue signal, and make race-baiting your bread and butter.
That was never the meaning of social liberalism, a quick google search would tell you this.

He's doing a bit. It gets even worse when people fall for it all too easily.

Republicans hate them because they refuse to kiss the God Emperor's ass in public, Democrats hate them because they criticise the God Emperor and then do whatever he wants anyway.

A substantial component of anti-Trump angst came from social conservatives. Trump’s primary victory was built on “moderates”.

Hillgoose obviously is a troll, don't feed him. But I also get triggered by terms like 'the greater good' or 'social cohesion'. Sure, when used properly they're great things. But too often has 'the greater good' been used to f**k people without any reason while social cohesion often meant that ruling social norms were strictly enforced. The animosity of the city has bad sides, but it also was a safe haven for people who didn't fit the social norms in rural areas where everybody knew each other.

(inb4 Cath says something about 'ye woke neoliberal')

i'm not trolling.

i'm honestly wondering why everyone expects me to sacrifice my own interests to help people who never treated me with basic human respect and never would?

Why do you desire to use taxpayer money to fund your wars?

The people in those nations need freedom like I have. The freedom to tell the losers I know that they can go rot on the street because of their irresponsible decisions, because I'm not letting them stay in my house.

So you have chosen a set of values (or vice versa?) and seek public policy—and dollars—to put those values in action. Pretty common in a democracy. Some choose tradition, others equality.
