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.

    a. If you think I'm a nazi in a bar, that's not a nazi bar: why am I still here, bartender?

    b. If you think I'm not a nazi, but in a nazi bar, the real question would be: what are you doing here, bartender?

    i think you're mad because i didn't fit into your preconceived notions and your whole dialogue tree is ruined

    Lol ya, big ass gotcha, haha. Why you think my notion is preconceived? I'm working with what you give me.

    I'm mad, because you are an enabler of fascist narratives, counterfactuality and hate speech.
