liberalist

The lolspawn of a gamer-gater neckbeard who ventured out from his grandmother's basement, and an incontinent, acne-riddled kekistani drummer boy whose kekistani flag would look like a Jackson Pollock painting under a blacklight, who has a microphone and a webcam.

I woke up early this morning and had to take a piss & a liberalist before I left for work.

liberalism

An ideology that has a preference for self-government in personal matters and central decision-making on economics. They want government to serve the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Leftists tolerate social diversity, but work for economic equality.

Publicly funded education, progressive income taxes, and women's voting rights all orgiginated from the ideas of liberalism.

liberalism

Something that people like Ann Coulter and other neoconservatives misrepresent. The Green and Libertarian parties both embrace the philosophy of liberalism.

Liberalism has nothing to do with economy. It is completely independent of capitalism or any other economic system. Liberalism is a strictly social philosophy.

It is the opposite of authoritarianism.
It is also NOT the opposite of conservatism.

Under liberalism, the government has little role in regulating social affairs. Under liberalism, the government exists to protect liberties, not take them away.

"Liberalism is a political current embracing several historical and present-day ideologies that claim defense of individual liberty as the purpose of government. It typically favors the right to dissent from orthodox tenets or established authorities in political or religious matters. In this respect, it is sometimes held in contrast to conservatism. Since liberalism also focuses on the ability of individuals to structure a society, it is almost always opposed to totalitarianism, and often to collectivist ideologies, particularly communism." - Wikipedia.com

The Bill of Rights is a product of liberalism.

nazi liberalism

The expression of liberalism so extreme that it is symbolic to the sweeping acceptance of the Nazi party. The belief that one's liberal ideas are so correct that no dialogue or other critical reasoning needs to be introduced to the decision.

Ethan was so adamant about his tax the church idea that no new information could be used to discuss the serious implications of this topic. His Nazi liberalism kept him searching just for people that agreed with him.

Lycralist

A recreational cyclist who insists on wearing body hugging Lycra despite not being skilled or fit enough to enter a race or time-trial.

Lycralists can be identified by:
1. Ignoring traffic signals.
2. No stopping for pedestrians at crossings.
3. Ignoring lane restrictions.
4. Overtaking where it is most dangerous, on the inside of motorvehicles.
5. Refusing to use cycle lanes - possibly because they believe cycle lanes are only for children.
6. Complain when the above behaviour leads to the death of a cyclist.

I saw a pedestrian knocked down by a Lycralist outside the police station, but the police did nothing.
