According to LW census liberals and social democrats make up about two thirds of the whole population.If anything, the fact that talk about politics is discouraged here is good for ideological minorities, such as conservatives, communists or neoreactionaries, because there are plenty interesting LW topics that are unrelated to politics. A few years ago people understood that.

Is the implication that other third, made up of libertarians, wouldn't want to be in a political conversation where they are outnumbered?

If so, that's a pretty good joke.

"It's good that we don't talk about X, because there are a lot of NotX things to talk about" is a rather peculiar claim.

Discussing specific ideas one by one is different from discussing vague blobs of ideas

I suppose one could argue that Trump the political animal is in fact a vague blob of ideas, but as a topic of conversation, it's fairly specific, and yet the poster asking for permission to discuss him was effectively told to "shut up" by 40% of respondents. And he did so.

That is what tabooing the word "neoreaction" means.

But that is not what "shut up" means.

Can he discuss Trump, as long as he doesn't use his name? Shall it be "He Who Must Not Be Named" then?
