This is part of the reason I told him to stop.

I’ll let you Google the definitions of things like liberal, neo-liberal, conservatism, etc. to boil it it down, they are mostly considered "right" ideologies based on capitalism and aren’t that far apart in a global context.

In American lexicon, yes liberal is left and conservative is right.

Edit: there are conservatives here. Not a lot but they have their own spaces.

Most people on most instances here I've encountered appear to be leftist more than liberal.
