The US uses lib to mean socially liberal, in opposition to the cons. The rest of the world uses it to mean fiscally liberal, as in support of not regulating capitalist markets, which is an anti worker position.
People often get pissy that a word can have more than one definition.

I didn’t even know the second definition existed at all. Ty for sharing.
Thank you, that makes more sense.
If you don’t know what liberal means, sure.
