    They just need a quick, easy way to dismiss people without actually engaging their argument. I get hit with something similar sometimes. “.ml, argument invalid.” because they don’t want to admit they’re supporting genocide.

    the star trek instance defederation is the most haunting example of this.

    i’d like to think that trekkies are more open minded; but it was another reminder that we’re the same as everyone else.

      i think in this specific instance its serving the same purpose of demonizing our ideas by using a popular hated strawman. which was jews at that time, but is russia now.
