Damn bro that’s some good self defense there

See, this is a great example. The blood-lust to murder people for robbery, while possibly legal in your jurisdiction, is about the furthest thing to socially liberal you can get.

Okay let’s clear something up. Socially liberal means that I don’t care what you do with your life as long as you don’t cause harm to others. I have said that before. How you live your life is none of my business unless you make it my business. When someone decides that they want to take what belongs to me and/or cause harm to my wife and children, however, the game changes drastically. At this point any reasonable person would assume that they intend to take what doesn’t belong to them and possibly cause harm to my family. They have forced me to take action to protect my loved ones. That person has now forced me to take action that very well could result in their death. Do I still feel the same way about how he lives his life? I did until he forced me to focus on his actions, meaning breaking into my home. So if someone who doesn’t live here and isn’t invited into my home appears in the living room at 2am, in accordance with the laws of Texas I will proceed to remove them from my home. With some luck they will see the large-caliber handgun or AR-15 that I’m holding and leave under their own power. That’s great, please do. If they resist they will be persuaded more forcefully. If they present a weapon they are fair game. Hopefully that never happens.

Ok, then you're using the phrase "socially liberal" wrong. Executing people for minor crimes just to send a message that you're tough is a medieval despot thing. These days, we put people under arrest for that sort of thing.

Burglarizing a home and causing harm to the inhabitants is not a “minor crime.” Texas recognizes that and the laws of my state allow me to defend my family and possessions with deadly force if necessary. If you have a problem with that, oh well. If I make a bad call and hurt someone without good reason I will end up in prison. But your problem is your problem. Have a nice day.

Your meme says you're murdering anybody who breaks into your house, regardless as to what level of harm would come out of it.

And again, maybe in your jurisdiction, the law is fine with that. But there's nothing socially liberal about executing people without trial just for breaking and entering.

Okay, what would you do if somebody broke into your house? Would you assume that they mean to take your things and/or hurt your family? Would you throw them a party? Give them whatever they want and exchange Snaps? Listen, I have been traveling this world damn near 50 years and have seen firsthand just how evil people can be. I know that there are bad people in the world who do bad things. I have a wife and two young children in my home. If they break into my home I will assume that they intend to hurt my family and take appropriate action. But again, I don’t need your approval on this.

I'd send that person to jail. You are not a moderate. You are hardliner. There's nothing socially liberal about your attitude, legal though it may be where you live - you are advocating execution without trial for something the intruder MIGHT do when the charge is simple burglary. That is not social liberalism. We wrote a Constitution precisely to put people like you in the history books where you belong.

Put them in jail, huh? Maybe if the police get there in time. But again, we can agree to disagree. Have a nice day.

What we can agree to here is that you are not moderate, and you are not socially liberal. That is a fiction on your part. It isn't true.

No, we can’t agree on that. It is based on your biased opinion. But I don’t have to defend myself to you. So please live your life however you see fit and I’ll do the same.

No. Opinion is you think burglars deserve to be shot. "Social liberalism" has a very clear definition and you do not get to change its meaning just to claim it applies to you. It doesn't. That's not opinion.
