I think all these labels are borne out of misplaced sense of righteousness, either by those who label themselves out of some misguided sense of belonging in a niche or others who like to slap labels on those they disagree with.
"I am a proud conservative" or "He is a commy b*******"
I think they mean nothing, because we are all complex human beings and our attitudes and behaviors keeps swinging based on our needs/situations/emotions. So I think its foolish to slap labels on ourselves or others and then stick with them.
I will give you a very good example of myself. I have gone from supporting BB to Musharraf, to IK, in the US from supporting Clinton to Obama, Romney, Biden and now probably whoever stands in opposition to Biden (except Trump, I just wont support that idiot no matter what, lol)
