It becomes a matter of life or death when people make it so. In the name of purity or correctness or the meaning of what the dead founder wrote or whatever - groups with VERY similar goals kill each other over what amounts to a manifest argument over biscuits - with the latent rationale being who gets to be in charge.
And so, as I said earlier - while we argue, our freedoms are being taken from us, hand over fist. We don’t need to decide what to call it, we need to find a way to agree that we all share the same (or very similar) goals - and move on from there.
It’s a pipe dream, I am certain. It’s related to your scorpion and frog analogy in the sense that human beings tend towards being scorpions.
