Beliefs

Though liberalism is rather vaguely defined, and its definition alters depending on when and where the term is used, it is typically associated with values such as multiparty democracy, civil liberties, secularism, File:Prog.png progressivism, internationalism, and a market-based economy.

What separates Liberal Democracy from Classical Liberalism is an emphasis on social justice and social equality as compared with its predecessor. Liberalism tends to support moderate means-tested welfare targeted at the poor to ensure people can meet basic human needs. He, also with his dad, Classical Liberal, influences a lot of liberal ideologies.

Personality

Liberalism is often shown getting easily angered or "triggered" by others and is shown to not be the biggest fan of violence. He is often schooled in debates.

However, he also has a secretive, wiser side that often acts philosophical and just.

Frenemies

File:Prog.png Progressivism - I like your social values, but hate it when people confuse me with you, also drop down the socialism stuff please.
Liberal Socialism - I like your dedication to liberal values, but socialism, I don't really like it... At least we both like attacking chuds on twitter for holding different views though.
National Liberalism - I appreciate your support for civil liberties, but your nationalism scares me.
Conservative Liberalism - Aren't you LibCon again? No? Oh well.
Anti-Fascism - Look, I'm an anti-fascist too, but can you stop being so violent and beating up anyone who disagrees with you? Why dedicate actual time fighting people when we can go on twitter and peacefully complain about it. (Also, I like capitalism, can't you see that just a few reforms on healthcare would make America better?)
Kemalism - I am grateful to Atatürk for getting Fethi Okyar to found the Liberal Republican Party, but statism is stupid. Ataturk was too authoritarian but was better than the reactionary cuck Erdogan. At least modern Kemalists supports me.
Chiang Kai-shek Thought - Lei Chen, Tsiang Tingfu, and Hu Shih supported you against the commies, but why tf did you shut down the Free China Journal? Also, the white terror was mega cringe.
Borisism - Tbh, you confuse me a lot. Are you a libcon or a Trumpist? Brexit and right-wing populism are cringe, but at least you have some progressive social takes and centrist economic policies Ig. I still prefer the Lib Dems over you even though I support you against Corbyn the old twat.
