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.
