In life in general one should not ever let others define you. And in the case of these labels as Jan and Charles point out it is used to marginalize and dismiss independent thought by those who seek to control what is permitted. We don't live in a society which encourages or respects a wide variety of opinion. And not enough people are educated to understand the function of the Superstructure and how it reflects the ideology of the dominant class. And the ridiculous 'impartiality' of the controlled media as if all ideas are equal. The only ideas that will ever get a hearing are those that suit tptb. All else is a threat and dismissed. The DPF has never been about so called 'free' speech and allowing all and sundry to have a platform here. We are about serious discussion of deep political matters. Things that should have been discussed and known by all and not hidden. We are not about reheating stale nutrient deficient pap from hired talking heads with lobotomies and shills with out moral compasses and mockingbirds. They have the rest of the media to themselves for that crap. I quite like John Judge's term, at least I think it is his, about co-incidence theorists and conspiracy realists.
