I don't see 'em that way.

Thoroughly enraged, breaking things and hurting people, vowing vengeance upon the world.

But, no tears.

The world sees liberals as beacons of freedom.

It's only the US where marxist garbage hijacked the term liberal.

Exactly.  Talk about a misnomer.  When the Founders used the term they were referring to limited government constitutionalists.  The modern "liberal" is some amalgam of technocrat, statist, and Marxist.  Hardly anything even remotely "liberal" about them.

Continental Europe still largely uses the classic definition of liberal, so when you see references to it there it generally means people more in line with us than American liberals. Only in the UK is the term similar to the American usage.
