    I think “liberals are left” is a specifically Western thing and it’s due to the utterly cooked Overton window, and deliberste obfuscation by media.

    Left/right in the West has become a synonym for progressive/conservative, and most Westerners I know can’t tell the difference.

    Right parties everywhere are always called “the liberal party” (Australia, Japan, etc). It’s just the US has two of them.

    A really simple way to explain it to US liberals, is that that liberalism simplified just means individualism / upholding the primacy of individual freedom over community betterment.
