Imagine going into a room full of strangers and announcing that you are an elitist. Does this strike no one else as socially inept?

Going into a room full of strangers and announcing I was a socialist, or an egalitarian, or a libertarian, or a conservative, etc. would be socially inept. In fact, announcing I was a human or a carbon-based lifeform or a biped would be socially inept too. It's nothing special about elitism.
