ewwww. If you think analytic philosophy is really about politics, you're reading it wrong. Completely wrong. Rather depressingly wrong. I personally think analytic philosophy is poetry. By which I mean that it convinces or persuades you of the truth, rather than "demonstrating" or "proving" it. It helps to catalyze the reaction between the mind and the world (that is persuasion). Or at least, that's a more valuable paradigm for viewing it.
(also, this post is slathered in beta values---there's Ti in the black and white "different conclusion from me = you're stupid" bit, Fe in the little fragment sentences there, Ni in the whole focus on changing "paradigms," and Se in the justification that you should believe x because it produces better results)
