It's another facet of the lazy and shallow thinking that has taken over the "Liberal" thought process.
There are more parallels to Spain in the early 30's than to the Wiemar Republic. Even more to the US in the 1850s, not to say that we are remotely close to ANY of those scenarios.
The immediacy of information, the purposeful indoctrination and progressive tendency to project their own malignancy on to any opposition has us in a completely new paradigm. The "free thinking" and "fairness" minded liberal today is truly an empty vessel, longing to be led, to stand up to any injustice, even one that doesn't exist, no ESPECIALLY one that doesn't exist because they are at the core, lemmings and cowards, virtue signalling each other in a circle jerk of posturing.
Those people are the reason I have drawn back all my support for the Party, and actively foment against them.
