I started out as a liberal when I was a teen because I was tired of the moralizing from conservatives. But now the moralizing is coming even more from "liberals." Modern liberalism is illiberal. .... I do not identify as conservative or Tory. I am absolutely not a social conservative. I wouldn't even consider myself fiscally conservative

I know exactly where you're coming from, and I'm right with you. All the political labels are mostly nonsense anyways. The battle is now individual freedom against the Big Mother Hive Mind, as dictated by corporate oligarchs, and begged for by large herds of infantile useful idiots who demand to have their feelings protected at the point of a gun.
