You can't make a logical case on a liberal site like HN for anything. It's not allowed by the liberal elitists. Liberal here defined not as true liberal but progressive (destructionist) liberal.
Don't you think that these terminology we call each other by (liberal/conservative..) is stifling constructive discussion?
I am sure there is a popular or objective definition of these labels. However, there is also so much misinformation that loads these terms.
Whenever someone starts a conversation by calling the other side a liberal or conservative, there is an automatic implicit assumption of their beliefs whether that is correct or not. The social baggage that comes with these terms are automatically placed on the other person.
I see this so much in real life and online discussions. It's just a shame that people are using these words as an antagonist rather than a heuristic.
