Huh what? Maybe language gap, but to me it sounded like you made kind of ironic/sarcastic underlining of OPs attack by meaning "that's how liberals are, they need some slack", so painting her as liberal and also painting liberals as needing slack sounded like a typical thing right OR left extreme may say.. but as you say right about sharing not the same beliefs: That as well as politics should ideally just stay out of here what is firstly a personal sad story, and also doesn't belong into HN?
- paganel 3y ago> so painting her as liberal I'm not "painting" anything, she's a Russian person who has just emigrated from Russia on account of this war and who also happens to write in a literary online magazine, so most definitely she's not a conservative Slavophile. But, again, this might be a translation issue, because as I understand it calling someone a "liberal" in the States has become a slur, so that could explain your dissatisfaction with me calling her a liberal. > That as well as politics should ideally just stay out of here what is firstly a personal sad story, and also doesn't belong into HN? Glad that we agree on something.
