      Liberalism is not particularly intuitive. It took clever people a long time to work out and we're still debating its fine points.

      No, I think intuitively we think that if we are right (and we always are) we must make everyone do things our way.

      Aren't you agreeing with me though? I'm saying liberalism is *not* intuitive.

      Yes! Again I am agreeing with you. (I usually agree with you, Christian)

      Is it when I begin with 'no' that you think I'm disagreeing? When you say something is *not*, my 'no' is agreement.

      Yes! I genuinely think that is confusing! Be interesting to see what others think.

          Using the "No" before agreeing is confusing for Brits or Americans. In Japan, they also would use "No" to agree

          I'm a Brit! Seems natural to me. Was actually wondering if Christian had spent too long in the US.

          Ah, maybe I'm mistaken then. Maybe this is more common to just the U.S.

          So far 3 Americans say its disagreement & 1 Brit says agreement. I'm just gonna have to be clearer! 'I agree!'

          'Agreed' is usually fine. Also for some reason I think it's clearer if you reply with 'no it's not' rather than just no.

          As written it comes across as dismissive, therefore disagreeing. I imagine in a convo it's different.

          Funnily enough, here in Argentina, when you say thank you ppl often reply with "no!" Meaning "don't mention it."
