I think this is made clear by the fact that the people you're talking about hardly ever advocate for IFAK or more involved first aid care and equipment either

because they're starting from a place of negative emotions around violence happening they avoid the reality of how these things play out

you won't hear them mention IFAKs hardly ever because that thought process skips past the emotional appeals to inaction

"Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of Black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor - both Black and white, both here and abroad." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Authoritarian fits pretty well though. He's going to bat for liberalism/capitalism super hard, and it's an authoritarian system (as is fascism).

not at all.

"Liberalism", as with most political terms here, is used in an alternate and incongruous way compared to Europe or other places.

liberalism is synonymous with capitalism. they are both authoritarian structurally as they aren't functionally separate. Liberalism/capitalism is a right-wing ideology.

here's a decent video on the subject: https://youtu.be/VlLgvSduugI?si=wvDWWE6nlN-7StXQ

"Libertarianism" suffers similar misunderstanding in the U.S. The term originally referred to what was essentially "communist anarchist" philosophy until a right-wing psyop co-opted the term and now it's understand as such in the U.S. In the UK, Europe, or other places it's sometimes understood under the original meaning.

Yeah i've heard that things have shifted more recently, it's a shame how the U.S. perverts ideas and language the world over.

I find, as you mentioned, that almost any political term can be misunderstood in the U.S. due to the longstanding campaign against clarity and truth.

Anarchist results in as much confusion here as libertarian. So that's why i prefer to give the full range of meanings to shed a little light.
