It’s a really effective strategy to stifle any serious debate on political issues. The tactic is rooted in tribalism and dehumanization of anybody who disagrees with the tribe narrative. Any information that doesn’t fit with the narrative being peddled can be safely discarded without any further investigation.
What I find particularly amusing is that liberals tend to see themselves to be enlightened and open minded while sneering at conservatives who are dumb enough to fall for things like antivax conspiracies and qanon. Yet, liberals exhibit exactly the same behavior, the only difference is that their conspiracies are being amplified by western mainstream media.
Libs be like: “Everyone I hate is a tankie”
