What it means to be 'liberal' or 'conservative' can be vastly different depending where you are
The four political poles are liberal, conservative, libertarian, and populist. Sometimes they go by different names but a liberal is by definition one who supports controls on industry but also in personal freedom, while conservatives favor controls on personal freedom but a free market. In the USA, those who call themselves liberals and those who call themselves republicans are both overwhelmingly populist. The democrats and republicans both favor big pork; the dems want to tell you what kind of media it is okay to consume and the republicans want to tell you what you can do in your bedroom. Between the two of them we should be delivered directly into massive fascism in no time. How different are things on the other side of the pond, really?

If all else fails, lower your standards.
