Funnily enough, that person does not have it backwards. It's the _article_ and the terminology it uses from the USA that have it backwards. This is revealed by the fact that the article claims that Silicon Valley's elite are both "staunchly conservative on regulation" and have "anti-regulatory zeal".
So you're actually agreeing vigorously with the guy to whom you're responding.
- lake99 8y agoDefinitely not agreeing with GP. Progressives are not economic liberals. But you're right, the article has it backwards too. The phrase "staunchly conservative on regulation" seems to have a special meaning in the US that's not applicable elsewhere. In India and Pakistan, for example, "conservative" just means holding on to traditional religious values.
- zorga 8y ago> Progressives are not economic liberals. They are under the American meaning of the word liberal, you just don't understand what liberal means in America. You are agreeing with me whether you understand it or not. What you mean by liberal, we call conservative or "classical liberal". Liberal here doesn't mean what it means in the rest of the world. > In India and Pakistan, for example, "conservative" just means holding on to traditional religious values. That's not what it means here.
