Well, not only there. In most European countries that are typically socialist, liberalism is considered to be right-wing… eg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Initiative

Look that I’m not saying the who’s right or wrong here, or if some ideology is better than another, I’m just pointing out a flaw in the post. Either way the number of downvotes in most post really shows how people care more about their ideologies than to actually understand what terms really mean and how perspective and context change things…

Because most European "liberals" nowadays are only liberals in the way that don't want to pay taxes, hate that the government tells them not to exploit workers or pump pollution into the air, and many loathe the idea that there are consequences for discrimination.

The rest of liberalism has rather fallen by the wayside in European liberalism.

Well, that makes sense. Eastern Europe used to be called the "Warsaw Pact" in response to NATO.
