  Mention of "woke feminism" in the context of something to look out for and appreciation of Sound of Freedom are pretty strong hints. I'm not criticizing him for it, just stating something that looks fairly likely to me. Here on HN we're too quick to associate the label "conservative" as a negative trait, while for me calling someone "liberal" or "conservative" is akin to calling someone "sports enthusiast". It is what it is...

    this gets bandied about a good amount. have seen it from claimants of both parties. it sounds good. logical. sounds it. is it? what’s the distribution of your label attribution? this one suspects that the conservative label sees significantly more use. this isn’t judgement, it is an observation. humans like belonging, and belonging is cemented through identifying an out group. the puzzling bit is the labeling itself. did it add value? seems to have mostly taken everyone away from talking about Barbie bombs.

      I think you are right, but it doesn't really go against the core of what I'm saying. I'm trying to pursue an environment where we can use these labels without assumptions of criticism. This said, I also think that the label "conservative" is thrown around a lot more because HN commenters tend to be more on the US "liberal" side of the opinion spectrum. Conservatives, thus, do stand out. This can be done with or without criticism. When I called the parent "conservative", I did so to point out that conservatives are an underserved market.
