I am never totally sure if, when someone tries to use “liberal” as a perjorative, if they are talking about market liberalism or social liberalism. Same when people try to use <socialism, communism, capitalism, etc> because it seems that definitions have become so watered down, redefined, and loaded that it’s almost impossible to have a reasonable discussion. Most of all, I see people that have a fundamental glaring hole in their own belief, or definition, of what “society” means.
