        Labels are how you group ideas into contextual boxes so you can communicate with other humans with your idiot mouth-hole.

          No, they’re how you group tokens representing hasty generalizations of ideas into boxes so that you can then just hurl rhetoric somewhere in the general direction of the boxes without having to actually bother with the ideas.

        Lol. From the person saying anarchism (little a, as you’re using it, though we’re discussing big A) is bad.

            Yep! Big A is the political ideology. Little a is describing a situation of lawlessness.

              I thought that was what the -ism was for! What have I inadvertently been saying all this time with “anarchism”?

                Yeah, anarchism I guess could be fine, but the political thought should be a capital A. Little a I would associate more with people who just want lawlessness/anti-governance. Big A Anarchism essentially requires laws and a government, in some form. Depending on the context, it’s probably fine though.
