Honestly, it doesn't even matter.

Like, suppose you call yourself a faluhousa. It doesn't change a thing.

yeah thats part of why labels in general CAN be misleading

Labels are just labels.

But everyone fights over these labels as if there are clear distinctions.

Oh, labels do matter, pratel

Lol

im a homosexual, i really love my home 😄

Very much

They do, but it'd be nice if they mattered less

It can change anyone's approach to your arguments

Labels matter in coarse discourse

now that obama called out identity politics lets make a list of far lefties who will turn and start calling for civility

yeah a label doesnt dictate your feelings on a very specific issue

But it doesn't matter if you are actually going to take the time to figure out how someone thinks.

XD

Obama called out Identity politics?

@Timcast Heterodox Academy?

@pratel no one does so except intellectuals

yes very much he did

Nice

They've stopped calling out IDpol, but they started with some strong anti-IDPol lefties.

civility is a construct of the white heteropatriarchy

Labels also may describe you as what you are not (in a stereotypical sense)

And that is counterproductive

yeah lol for real

✊🏾 stay woke JULZ

Yay Obama!

I am actually SUPER IMPRESSED with Obama on that.

I knew he couldn't be that bad

Im still really meh about Obama in general, but i approve of this.

A lot of people saying 'oh it's safe for him to say that shit because he's not in power'

He's still saying it

well, when you don't need to worry about elections anymore, it's easier to speak out against crazies

yeah i mean in SA its actually probably a contentious thing to say there too

But the thing is, there are STILL tons of fucking people who look up to him

I hereby officially proclaim that I am a labelfluid

and having him say something like that is BIG,

I'm still torn on it all. He's been coming out strongly for stuff like Free speech and anti-IDPol for awhile now.

But I haven't seen him really use it to intervene in anything or really push a stance in a significant way.

You can't be labelfluid because 'labelfluid' is a label and your label might change .. my brain is melting
