🤷‍♂️If you keep getting downvoted by "the smart respectable people" for pointing out that they are neither of those things, eventually people will start to say "Shit, am I agreeing with Muntedcrocodile (great name btw), I need to reconsider my opinions."

As soon as you start picking at a blatant hypocrisy in the ruling ideology, you're tarred with the same vague 'bad guy' brush as us. If you keep questioning propaganda like this, you're likely to have a lot more of these moments in the future, of sudden hostility from liberals who have no answers.
