Okay, but all I'm saying is that if you do decide to talk about your beliefs, you should use a more honest term for your belief system. I definitely agree with you that racists should not go around talking publicly about their beliefs! You seem to have inferred something from my post that I didn't mean, sorry about that.
Interesting. I'm fond of using a negative-connotation framing of myself and my beliefs, but I wouldn't call it "honest".
In general, socially admitted "beliefs" are actually actions. I see no reason to optimize them for anything other than effectiveness.
(LW is different. There is enough openness here and epistemic rationality norms that it's actually a good idea to share your beliefs and get criticism.)
