I wish these memes came with a political compass clarification of what these terms exactly mean for the author.

I get confused because the right and left both call each other the libs and as far as I can tell, US liberals don't really align to either liberalism or libertarianism, rather an acute section of them here and there for personal benefit.

The free market, for example, which both ideologies oppose as soon as it encroaches on other freedoms, becoming anti-liberal. But US libs will strip the liberties off anyone for a buck and an entirely unregulated free market will let them do that. Adam Smith covered so much of this stuff and I'm pretty sure US libs would say he's a commie.

I hate liberals more than conservatives because at least with conservatives they don't go around pretending to be on my side while doing heinous shit. Conservatives just do the heinous shit without the pretense.

You don’t have to be authoritarian to be a leftist.
