I just tried searching for “liberals” on twitter and tagging usage. Rough proportions I found:
“Liberal” =
Generic godless non-conservative: 35%
SJW/identitarian: 25%
Progressive/socialist welfare statist: 20%
Big-banks-globalist neoliberal: 15%
Classical liberal/Whig: 5%
Conversation
a) Someone should do this with a large corpus and a rigorous tagging methodology.
b) The term is now officially a dumpster fire of wildly incompatible intensions
c) This is no longer a fussy academic confusion, it’s a mass, vernacular confusion. It’s a term of rude art.
