Jeez man what do you want a metal or something? Shut up already!

Jeez man what do you want a metal or something? Shut up already! | I've rounded a corner. Not gone around it, but
rounded it off so I won't catch myself on it again.
That pointy protrusion was partisanship. Do you know the difference between knowledge and
wisdom? Knowledge is knowing a thing. Wisdom is
understanding it. The dust hasn't finished settling,
but I have finally internalized my longstanding
belief that political labels are counterproductive.
At last I've put my finger on why. Democrat and republican I get--those descriptors
are shorthand for "affiliated with this party". But
"liberal" and "conservative" --those aren't nouns.
They're adjectives. Saying "those liberals" or "he's
a conservative" reduces people to a mere portion
of who they are, at best. At worst it pastes over who
they are with an imaginary caricature that serves no
purpose other than further dividing and alienating an
already divided and alienated people. For most of my life I've identified as A liberal.
And part of what A liberal does is support other
liberals and square off against non-liberals. Over
the past several years I've encountered numerous
people who hold conservative beliefs and are all
around decent individuals. This incongruity coexisted
with my identity as A liberal until I began to encounter
more and more people who hold liberal beliefs and
are basically rotten people to anyone who isn't also a
liberal--and for reasons that are hypocritical, myopic
and logically unsound. In other words, no set of
character traits in endemic to either group. There are
good people and shitty people represented in both
demographics. There is no correlation between
political views and personal character. From there is was a short but painstaking
step to really recognize that it isn't the
other party that's the enemy. It's the act
of objectifying people by conflating what
they believe with who they are. A mistake I
will make every effort to avoid making again. There's an expression I'm fond of:
small change, big difference. (Just ask
a barber if you don't believe me.) This
small adjustment to my schema has
profoundly altered my perspective. It has
allowed me to reconcile my fondness for
people whose political ideologies I don't
subscribe to, and my disdain for people
whose political ideologies mirror my own.
The ideology is incidental to the equation.
The deciding factors are sensibility and
temperament. I either find someone to
be pleasant, open-minded, honest and
logically consistent, or I don't. Period. And I will never again refer to a person as A liberal
or A conservative. Those labels deserve the same
fate as our friend depicted in the desert. If it was
relevant, I would say "a person of liberal persuasion"
or "someone with conservative ideologies".
Beliefs mean nothing by themselves--it's what is
done with them that matters. It's unlikely that a
person's beliefs would be accurately encompassed
by a single word anyway, and even less so as
they change over time. Mine certainly have. Simple. Obvious. Vapid even. Not sure why it
took me so long to puzzle this out. But I'll be
damned if it hasn't changed my life.

generally liberal and some conservative views,
