Okay, well, yes - I maybe chose three really poor examples. I think it's safe to predict that I'm not going to be a fascist in 2013. The problem I'm trying to solve is not being able to distinguish between the dreck and the not-dreck because I don't want to feel like a traitor to my group.

I don't know what group you refer to, but I think that Marxism and post-modern thought (particularly post-modern feminism and post-modern philosophy of science) have insights that one can accept without rejecting empiricism (i.e. finding out the truth by testing your hypothesis against the world).
