I don't know for sure what this is.They're so locked in simplistic binary thought processes that shallow, ignorant, goofy hyperbole is all they can manage.This "everybody is a marxist" thing is just totally dumb. Not surprising coming from right-wingers.
Plus, they finally realized that "socialist" wasn't scaring anybody. Obviously they'll soon find that out about "Marxist" too.
Let it be a cautionary tale. Don't let your mind atrophy at the hands of an ideology.
There seems to be no middle anymore. Anyone who doesn't support trump is a "marxist." Ignorance abounds, as does exaggeration.
- Have we just become intellectually lazy as a culture, willing to just grab the nearest and biggest hyperbolic word rather than take a moment to consider nuance and/or accuracy?
- Have we become so tribal that we're afraid to say anything that is not commonplace within our tribe?
- Have we become so insecure that we're afraid to stick out within our tribe?
Cripes, I really don't know. What I do know is that we still seem to be decaying. We'll all be grunting and hitting each other with sticks soon.
