        Well, rightoids are known for claiming to be centrists, claiming to be libertarians, claiming that rightism is “default and apolitical”, etc and so forth.

          And Lefties are known for saying anyone who thinks you should be able to contract someone to do a job for you for an agreed upon payment is a fascist.

                I avoid labelling myself as I don’t think it does any good.

                But gun to the head, I’d have to say I’m an environmentalist with a touch of social ecology. Though I avoid calling myself a social ecologist because it can be affiliated with violence, and I’m not opposed to governments.

                Socially, I care most about freedom, expression and democracy.

                What about yourself?

                  Ah, alright. The mod of a nazi bar¹ highly politicized community² doesn’t like labels and then strategically formulates the most broad and empty perspective about their own ideological thought, one can come up with. I applaud the skill³ you excercise.

                  What about yourself?

                  Let me try one like that, but from my perspective:

                  I avoid labelling myself as I don’t think it does any good.

                  But gun to the head, I’d have to say I’m also somewhat of an environmentalist, but actually more of a humanist with a touch of economic analysis. Though I avoid calling myself an economic analyst because it can be affiliated with radicalism, and I’m not opposed to democratic institutions.

                  Socially, I care most about justice, liberation and human dignity.

                  1. Nazi Bar: A space in which bigots or extremists have come to dominate due to a lack of moderation or by moderators wishing to remain neutral or avoid conflict.
                  2. A community, that bases its entire means of existence on the labeling of the political other.
                  3. Blame-avoidance and the refusal to clearly label one’s views are common tactics used by individuals — especially those holding controversial, minority, or potentially stigmatized positions, but also by politicians seeking to broaden their appeal or evade direct critique.
