See the problem with this stupid labeling is that everyone has a different definition so no one knows what the fuck anyone else is saying. Just knock it off with the labels, attribute the quality or idea you mean instead of a lazy fucking label...
You know how many conversations Ive been in where i was confused until i realized the word meant different things to us. Seriously the labeling in politics is getting out of control, everyone groups everything up into a category because it makes it easy to manipulate people against it, so noone knows what the word means anymore because everyone is defining it as something different every day.
Not using labels is double plus good...
You've just described the gender argument.
It fits alot of topics. People just stop learning by middle school and go through their lives ignorant to the world outside of their limited personal experience. It's not surprising that the world's population is so easily manipulated into being scared of everything...
In America.
If you think that this sort of thing is just in America I have a bridge to sell you....
The stupidity of American labels you mean, most of the rest of the work understands politics
Around 15-20 years ago these idiots so easily manipulated with labels in the US were only on the fringe (or at a minimum, less obvious in their existence), now they're a political force. Do not sit there in smug self assurance that it definitely cant happen there, because that's how it begins...
Then again I dont think the first world countries of the world have been cutting education for decades now. And you also didnt have Regan and Citizens United.
