Then why do so many label themselves progressive liberals? Just pure hypocrisy and a lack of critical thinking?

Because at some point, I think in the 1800s, there was a split in liberalism between progressives and classical liberals. Classical liberals split into conservatives and libertarians. Why does it matter? Because progressives take for themselves the right to use force to accomplish their agenda. Classical liberals do not acknowledge any such right.

Most of the time someone declares themself a liberal, they are lying. They are almost always leftists that don't believe in liberal values of freedom and equality.

equality

They don't preach equality, they preach "equity".
