I don’t agree with treating political ideology, preferences, opinions, and ideas as identity. ...
These things shouldn’t become ingrained as part of our identity, because that encourages people to become defensive against criticism, tribalistic about their politics, and unwilling to change.
We should feel free to mock people’s political ideas, because politics have consequences. We should feel free to mock people’s political ideas, because you should not be your politics.
People who think they are their politics are the kind of mindless ideologues who will never, ever change their opinions about anything, regardless of sound logic and new facts. ...
This would explain a lot about some people I know.
