What defines "so" liberal? If you put in front if me a list of issues, I tend to lean liberal on more than half, leftist on a few and conservative on very few.

"Why are you so socialist?" Because I care about people other than myself.

Then there was scouting……
- service to others
- cleaning up nature areas
- recycling drives
And this was in the 1970s, so I don’t know what happened to the world since, especially with environmental awareness and action.

im further left than whoever made this, so dont take it the wrong way but this is a fucking stupid meme. Surely the libs can do better than this... whatever this is... right? Like... this is some boomer-tier stuff
See that's my only problem with other people on the left.... Conservatives will always support other conservatives. They'll vote for them regardless.
Liberals, Progressives, leftists, they'll kneecap other without hesitation because they can't stand simple progress. They want radical change. And if you can't provide that, then they won't vote, they won't support anyone, they'll talk absolute shit about candidates, ideas, etc.
God forbid anyone tries to sell progressivism to the public... You can always guarantee a leftist will come out of the fucking woodworks to poo poo on it because it's just not left enough for them. Assholes.
I don't consider anti-liberal and Tankies as left like at all. Hexbear and ML literally supported Trump ffs.

Agreed 100%. And I'd expand it further (and more impactfully) many moderates would rather let the country delve into fascism than the mystery box of progressivism that (in their mind) might eventually lead to fascism or higher taxes when they finally become a billionaire.
Moderates and progressives need to agree on a candidate (primary), then both sides need to support them.
We agreed on a candidate. (Bernie)
And the Dems decided to railroad the other candidate through anyway. It makes absolutely perfect sense why progressives think liberals are full of shit.
Hell, Dems are fighting harder against Mamdani right now than they are against Donald, a literal fascist president.

A leftist correctly critized me today. I guess we can't ever have nice things anymore.

Me too but hey, if this resonates with some boomers I'm all for it.
I can never really tell how un/intentionally memey the boomer aspect is anymore, but my brain might be broken. It's definitely a meme by libs, for libs though.

It's even simpler, "empathy" should do it. Conservatives also care a great deal about gay rights, abortion access, government safety nets... as soon as it affects them personally.
I think you mistook Leftism for Liberalism
Meh, these are very vague points in which liberals (as in liberalism) mostly believe though.

For me its summed up by writer Pearl Buck:
“Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.”
