@futurebird this - so much this.
I have to tell people that #thinktanks, #brainrot and advantageous framing is older than the TV, older than the radio.
The parents of #liberals and #conservatives were the #liberalists, who were groomed by the #aristocracy and the #barons.
Words like #freemarket basically translate to markets controlled centrally by a few monopolists in an exploitative #RaceToTheBottom, where one or several entities become #KingOfTheHole.

@yianiris pure #libertarianism results in #privatising #power via #oligopoly.
As a #European you should read up on the #barons and the #aristocracy. Note, that whereas some aristocrats were appointed by royalty, others were made noble because they were so "successful" - i.e they were barons sanctioned by the crown.
The barons who hated the crown? Those were the #liberalists. In essence, people like to forget that part of European history because it doesn't suit their ideology or agenda.
