Nice article

I grew up in the same era and at various points in my life I've identified with most political labels under the sun

My love affair with labels ended on Twitter, where I saw that almost everyone of all political stripes was a complete asshole

And the problem was the labels themselves

The final straw was seeing my self-righteous political tribe conduct online bullying campaigns against survivors of sexual abuse

It still shocks me to write that

So I left Twitter and the labels behind

Everyone is flawed, so yeah absolutely what people do, if they can manage to be kind to each other that's all that matters

Politically now my beliefs are too nebulous to fall into a category, I think

I value more freedom, that's about it

Political parties seem like a bit of an anachronism anyway, there are surely better ways of sharing a planet
