I've got it now.
The difference between Anglo and Continental understandings of "liberalism" is quite simple.
The Anglo understanding is: "I want to be able to have slaves, and to exploit them and get lots of money"
The Continental understanding is: "I want to be able to fuck kids and jack off in public"
Go around Europe. In fact, go around the world.
Everyone knows about French or German philosophers. They are the greatest philosophers Europe ever produced.
No one cares about "the Austrian school" (popularized by an Austrian who became a British citizen, surprise surprise) or Lockean or Burkean economics.
The whole "British liberal philosopher" thing is a LARP. It's a big fucking LARP.
They complain about the "French Empire spreading democracy" while literally wanting the British Empire to expand to cover the entire world and turn everyone into cashcows.
