> Author writes and thinks in labels
Author engages in identity politics [1] which can be described as an exercise in labelling everything, attaching value statements - positive and negative - to those labels and thereby reducing every possible question to a simple calculation.
[1] a utopian socialist variant of 'scientific socialism' in which economic values have been replaced by social ones. Like its counterpart any attempt at implementing these ideas in the real world end up in failure since the inhabitants of the real world do not behave according to how the models predict they should - neither Homo Sovieticus nor Homo Arcopluvius exist in the real world.
