You have actually illustrated 90% of the problem - none of the the above represents liberal behaviour but rather the very opposite. Liberal fight such behaviour, these things happen DESPITE OF liberalism. You have just validate my post.

Depends on your definition of 'liberalism'.

Classical liberalism was synonymous with libertarianism, minarchy, etc.

The modern colloquial usage is closer to meaning left-wing statism (as distinguished from 'conservative' or right-wing statism).

Please replace "modern colloquial" with "USA". Outside your country "liberalism" is not ambiguous at all.
