I am talking about argument-based-on-reasoning. Yes, I understood you did not believe the crap you were writing.

Rational arguments have nothing to do with marketing labels like left, and any other binary belief traps. The things you mentioned are nothing more than echos of nonsensical political marketing that is deliberately NOT targeting the ratio. Instead, they aim the underbelly, the non-rational core we all have. It speaks to the peoples need to belong to a group, it speaks to deeply held beliefs, it speaks to identity.

I understand it is incredible hard while drowning in a sea of identity politics, but do not conflate reason with political memes.
