It is thread for North Americans.
Term Liberal was molested so freaking much over the last decades that right now it is being associated with hippies, socialists and greens.
One key point of modern liberalism is social justice, however it doesn't mean you get equal pay, standard of living, housing, meals as anyone else. What social justice means is you get equal opportunity to get to your desired standard of living through equal opportunity in getting education and healthcare first of all.
It doesn't mean that it is granted, you still have to bust your ass for it, and if you're hardworking, public will assist you, but you don't get anything for sitting on your ass.
Liberalism isn't anti-capitalist and social justice =! socialism.
Just wanted to get it off my chest. Thoughts?
