I have been waiting for this kind of a post about labels. For too many people, labels serve as a means for not taking the time or making the effort to really understand something or someone. I think it is a smart exercise to ask one's self about how we all apply labels and what the effect of doing so is.
Great article, the labels thing drive me crazy and also drives the country, the world into corners. It's a sad fact that lazy thinking, group think is plentiful.
Take a side already!! Oh you don't like either party, you're just a Uniparty sheeple. I find it helps them keep the narrative guarded and protected in their heads. The labels create a soft and fuzzy spot for biases to persist and flourish.
Don't ruin the narrative please, or I will find a good label for you.
I think groupthink is very easily fallen into, and people label things in life based on their previous experience. If its something brand new to them, they look to the group, and the group is filled with bias, assumptions, and stereotypes.
We're all susceptible to it, but being aware of it is of vital importance. We need to look deeper than the labels that are so easily thrown around, and are rarely accurate. Thank you for your comment!

Thank you for your comment Oma. I completely agree!
