uh, no, I don't mean that. In this case, closer to the latter. I'm using the received or simplified meaning of private-- like keeping it to yourself.

Also, not sure I said anything about a "big push." This post is much more concerned with the attitude of otherwise-friendly liberals whose behavior in non-public settings (including, I suppose, one-to-one conversations) is to say "keep it private" as in both "keep it out of the government" and "keep it out of all interactions outside of your home" and, to a somewhat lesser but annoying extent "if I am in your home, find a way to keep it more private if you can. Fuck, just keep it to yourself God boy. Shut the fuck up and keep it to yourselllllllf!" The last actually happens rarely.
