That's also, more or less, exactly what I was thinking. For instance I don't eat foie gras because I find it inhumane, but I would never call myself an animal rights activist because of that.

I think in modern times we are, for some reason, attached to labels when in reality people's positions are, if they're thinking for themselves, going to be nuanced enough that there will be no appropriate label. Not wanting to participate in the development of autonomous killing machines, let alone ones that inevitably will be abused, is a perfectly reasonable position, but does not at all make one a pacifist in and of itself.
