  • Labels allow expedient understanding of a philosophy, concept, belief system, etc. They’re not pointless.

    I need to clarify what I mean by this.

    In the context of what I am thinking about the use of labels, I mean whenever people use labels to describe their out group, they use them as a dismissive tool.

    For example, if you are not 100% pro-Trump and you say anything negative about Trump or his administration to somebody who has died in the wool, they will call you a liberal.

    It has gotten to the point where anything that you say will get you labeled as woke or a liberal. So long as it is something that goes against magga and Christian nationalism.

    Therefore, the political term liberal is all but meaningless.

    Because it doesn’t hold a unified definition across the aisles.

    Besides this, political labels as a whole are mostly bullshit because people use them to describe themselves as being part of a group. But whenever you question them as an individual, you find out that they don’t align with a lot of the shit that other people who use that political label ascribe to.
