Technically speaking, I am a thoughtful individual, and the naive and narrow-minded people exist, too. But you are right that it was unfair to choose a nice example for one side and a stupid example for another side, because other examples also exist. Uhm, sorry for that.

I focused on the idea, that it will not do much good to avoid pronouncing our political labels, if we continue to keep their underlying models.

I could have used a different example, like that it is useless to avoid calling oneself a Christian, if one continues to argue that God wants this and Jesus Christ died for that. But I guess that is also a strawman example.

Funny thing, it kind of proves the point on a meta level. I didn't explicitly use any political label for myself in that comment, and yet it didn't solve the problem of mindkilling.
