      I'm a liberal of the universal variety. Favours individuality & shared humanity above group loyalty.

      I've never expressed sympathy with tribalism whether Left or Right so am accused of being a bad ally & a traitor to my country respectively.

      ...government and self reliance. I don't especially support them, I'm rather more liberal especially with economic policy.

      Yes, they do but how does this relate to group loyalty? Big government/welfare etc is an expansive thing which seeks to protect everyone

      ...giving it to another. It also means things like setting minimum wages which prevents individuals making their own contracts.

      Yes but where does the group loyalty come in?

      Big government does not protect all. Big government favours some groups (farmers, pensioners) at expense of others (middle aged workers)

      Yes it does but the idea is to protect the most vulnerable, not to protect your own group.

      Yes. There are clear cases of most vulnerable but welfare state is far more extensive.

      I reckon a liberal has to be more willing to accept possible unfairness eg wage gap legislation might be fair but denies individuals agency.

      The difference between equality & fairness? Yes, absolutely.
