Much of this article is written from a pov of view of someone defending against the negative connotations of the label.

I did some mild editing which did use "weasel words" in the sense of "some people think" type language, but the articl needs a masive rewrite. The views detailed need to be written in the context of arguments people have made with sources. Rather, the article as it is written is clearly a strongly motivated "defensive argument" for reasons people with such labels should not be negatively judged. Whowever wrote these sections clearly misunderstand the nature of wikipedia. A phenomenon should be described, and cited differing views can be written, but it inappropriate for an article to argue for a point of view, especially in the manner this article does. I don't have enough information to rewrite it myself, and I am not an experienced enough editor to properly tag it, but I didn't see this general problem discussed in the talk page so far.

For example, before my edit there was a sentence of the form "Indeed, a spiritual rebellion was inevitable against a rapifly changing society that emphasizes economic competition over (other values) and enslavement of young people..."

It should be clear why such a sentence is wholly inappropriate for a wikipedia article. If someone wants to preserve the sentence, it needs to be re=written as the specific view of a notable commentator and properly cited rather just written as a "neutral fact" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.185.109.34 (talk) 06:22, 20 October 2022 (UTC) - This article makes two references to the "current difficult economic situation", contrary to the Wikipedia policy of using precise language to specify dates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.55.50.248 (talk) 08:55, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
