Liberalism has a “my rights end where yours begin”

No, it's always been the defense of exploitation when it comes into conflict with any other supposed right.

Here's one of my favorite books, it goes through the history and evolution of Liberalism: http://acdc2007.free.fr/losurdo2011.pdf

It's special because most liberal thought is taught as something that was born, fully formed, from the minds of men in the 1700s, and exists entirely divorced from context and material conditions.
