In America why are liberals considered to be left wing but in Australia, liberals are considered right wing?

has to do with the way the water flows when the toilets are flushed.

The poles.

its the difference between social liberalism (USA) and classical liberalism (Aus)

The same way the liberals are the conservative party in the uk

Our Liberal party is hardly right wing

At best they are centrist, but they are probably slightly left leaning overall

Because it depends on how they want governent structured and involved in people's lives.

No one thinks the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan are liberals.

Because Australia (and Europe) are even more cucked.
Anything that's not socialist is right wing.

republicans became socially conservative to court southerners and midwesterners.
On economic matters, republicans are liberals, and democrats are socialists.

Ronald Reagan and his fans built up Neo-Conservatism, which is Neo-Liberalism but also emphasize liking God more. Everyone went with the redefinition and just shortened it to "conservative" and "liberal," even though they're ideologically pretty much just Neo-Liberalism (recent decade has added new wrinkles to that.) The Democrats are basically the same party at this point but with more willingness to do socialist policies, but not a whole lot more in the grand scheme, and the Republicans are just pushing further right

Fuck off retard, Australia has one of the most economically right wing gubmints on earth. Flooding the country with shitskins isn't a left of right ideal, they all agree on it.

No, American leftists co-opted the term over a hundred years ago.

Leftists are not "liberal" in ay sense of the word.

Why is red Republican and blue Democrat? Everywhere else in the world red is left wing and blue is right wing.

beat me too it

>Flooding the country with shitskins isn't a left of right ideal

Are you dense?

Right wing does not equate to capitalism. It has recently been labelled as such because any true right wing thought is considered an unacceptable belief in modern society. The original distinction between right and left was following the French Revolution.

This. Originally democrats ruled the south because the left leaned toward the "working man and poor" economically. Republicans favored the rich and companies.

When blacks earned the right to vote in the 60's, the left would naturally pick up their vote because the overwhelming majority where poor.

The right conceived a strategy in the 70's to target the "redneck nascar fans" (I shit you not). Nixon hated this by the way. He said it would forever taint the image of the republicans. But they did a pretty good job. They targeted racist white people in the south, and set up alliances with preachers to push their congregations to vote right. And religious people are usually weak minded anyways and just go along with what the preacher says, so the christians fell in line.

So now you got angry white people, redneck, gun toting christians. That's how the south was won by republicans.

This in turn led to the left targeting more minorities to make up for the fat angry white people they lost in the south.

They used to switch back and forth between red and blue for republicans and democrats every election cycle.
2000 put an end to it.
Bush v Gore
So much attention was paid to that electoral map that the (networks) thought switching them in 2004 would confuse everyone. So republicans stayed red and democrats blue.
It really was just a coincidence that those were the colors when they stopped alternating.

>french rovelotion
they went from "in the name of the batshit catholic royaltard" to "in the name of the dictator 'empoorer'tard"
without signifying what, exactly, is the so-called difference, your words make no sense
left? right? said who? what scale?
false equivalence? probably/usually
>australia
oi bongo you faddy mangy cuntwash

It has something to do with them opposing gay marriage. I know, I’m still confused too they look left wing as f to me.

who knows reckless people call themselves conservatives

Overton window.

Liberalism and neoliberalism are labeled as "left wing" to keep true leftism (unionism, socialism, communism) from being in the mainstream. They already succeeded in killing leftists movements in America. That's why you see these big companies supporting liberal idpol such as LGBT and all that bullshit.

Liberals in America typically mean the 1960s LBJ type of liberal that believe that you should be able to do anything without consequences (unless it's today and you're anywhere from center to right).
Idk about AUS, but they probably mean libertarian or classical liberal

The best way to describe lefties probably is "Authoritarian", they force (whenever they get a chance) you to think and behave exactly the same like them.

What cunt

You're an absolute faggot pseudo-intellectual

Because conservatism is right

Because it USA it's considered comunist make roads.

If our left wing is your right wing, it means that your country is too far gone to be saved.
