It's just forcing US culture on everyone in the world. Also see Meta deleting IG posts and banning people based on US politics / morals.

  Americans have changed/reversed a lot of political definitions including conservative/liberal.

    To be fair liberal and conservative is still used in it's actual sense whenever I hear it here in central Europe. US politics is barely a topic, even less something people actually care about.

    I wish I could say the same here. People seem to have forgotten what the word liberal is supposed to mean. There is a local Liberal tradition which has very little to do with modern usage.
