> Attempting to shut down discussion by deliberately misunderstanding words or how they work is a sign of an inability to make productive valid points about reality.

Lumping a bunch of things together under a vague term to make it easier to vaguely complain about them is a sign of an inability to make productive valid points about reality.




You do exactly the same thing when you use phrases like "the right wing".


I was about to say "right wing" hasn't shifted radically in the last decade, but then I guess it has shifted significantly in the UK at least; I hear it's also shifted significantly in the US, but I'm not at all confident in the reporting in that case.
