Yeah I personally loved the idea of it. But it was clearly just an alt-right dog whistle.

If a bar accepts everyone, they accept Nazis, and if a bar accepts Nazis then it is a Nazi bar.

"political orientation" is just the grouping and dilution of personal opinion. Change my mind.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That's basically the point, to just attempt to summarise one's complex beliefs, morals and opinions. Anyone who sees "political orientation" as anything other than that, like some defining or immutable attribute, is delusional.

I agree to a point, but I think there is some value in summarizing your views. I rarely have time to go into minute detail about my opinions when taking to people.
