I am personally very tired of people claiming that they are "liberal". They don't seem to understand, or at least have a very bent view on, the definition of "equality".
Sure, they might be supportive of a non-traditional trend, but whenever you try to discuss a traditional value with them, they automatically shut down, just as a "conservative" ignores you when you mention anything "liberal". I would prefer to classify these people in four ways rather than two:
It's very saddening, and maybe even annoying (yep, definitely annoying). So how would we go around to change that? How would you change that? Is there anything that you could work on to make yourself more truly "liberal", rather than "old-school" or "new-school"?
And I really want you guys to reflect on yourselves. None of that "I'm perfect!" crap anymore. You're not perfect. I'm not perfect. Nobody's perfect. Our goal in life is to not be so not-perfect.f

- Conservative: Doesn't want to change too much too fast, but willing to compromise if it comes down to that.
- Old-School: Will not accept change at all. Current view of "conservative" that we see on TV, politics, etc.
- New-School: Will not accept not changing. Every Reddit user or "Liberal Guy" stereotype you've ever seen.
- Liberal: Accepts any change, and advocates reform, but will compromise if it comes down to that.
