But you need to be honest with yourself about why you believe what you believe about the world. We all have contradictory beliefs (and sometimes values), so it's only a matter of time before you catch yourself believing in stuff not rooted in your values. This could be harmless, or it could be destructive to yourself and the people around you, or it could allow people to have an unhealthy degree of control over you, your behavior, and how you perceive and interact with the world. All good advice still requires good faith interpretation, and some people aren't going to do that. How much are we supposed to concern ourselves with people who don't try to understand us?

And in general, I'm pretty damn skeptical of anyone who roots their identity in political alignment. Like I'm pretty firmly on "the left", but it's not like I walk around identifying as an anti-capitalist, which is such a broad and vague term I can't control how people perceive it even if some will take me in good faith. And that's still dozens of layers above the values that actually inform my political alignment, and there's a lot of bad-faith actors who appeal to political alignment to get you to work against your values basically in every aspect of society. It's still up to you to notice this and care.
