Yeah I agree with this. And it isn't really a left or right issue, there are bored, angry, lazy-minded dumb dumbs on all sides. Just look at all the folks on thedonald (and here) who think anyone who disagrees with them is a paid communist shill. That's the same defense mechanism in action. Much easier to attack and dismiss a person than engage in critical thinking and reasoned debate.
