I didn&#x27;t mean to be derogatory at all -- I just mean phrases like &#x27;open society&#x27; are used in discussion and argument by a large variety of people with a large variety of beliefs, and it always essentially means &#x27;an implementation of my particular belief system&#x27;. Libertarianism provided an excellent example because of how prevalent it is on HN -- so prevalent in fact that I had a real life Libertarian pop out to defend it!
