conflate liberal/conservative with the dominant left/right parties in these nations

Why do so many people on Lemmy insist on pretending that liberal/conservative aren't relative terms?

Every single time those words get used with their little l/c to mean "relatively liberal/conservative) I see multiple people go "well ackshully a Liberal is a right wing ideology!"

The actual opposite of conservative in this case would be progressive. Liberal isn't a relative term, progressive is. It's easy enough to tell from context but when there's already no info on how these graphs came to be it just adds to them being questionable.
