These people behave as if they're a sociology police roaming the wastelands of social media (and academia), invoking the ghost of Auguste Comte in order to enforce proper sociological purity. It's absolute bollox.

That is, pretending that there are fixed sociological definitions, that sociological claims are not contested, that there is some kind of sociological authority, etc - when... well there isn't!

Don't know really. I think reparations for slavery are appropriate. I'm committed to redistribution. Wanted Clinton to win. Want eradication of poverty as major political aim. But... don't like identity politics. I don't know. Not sure label is very useful anymore.
