The conflict in terms comes from what in Europe mostly describes the social axes. Social liberalism is very different from what in America usually refers to economically neo-liberals who are basically late stage capitalists
It's the opposite you mean, in Europe liberal and neoliberal are basically synonyme, while in the US the libs are the people dying their hair in pink
In the US people usually use neoliberal and liberal interchangeably. I'm sure some of them are dying their hair pink, not sure what that has to do with anything though.
I've always read the "libs" used as synonyme for "dems" and "woke" but OK
Oh, yes, magas lump everyone who isn't an insane right-wing nut job into the same category, and they call them all "libs" or "libtards"
