A communication misfire I see frequently across perceived ideological boundaries may be summarized as such:

Person A: "social phenomenon XYZ is being abused / misappropriated / spun in a way by people with power"

Everyone else: "you are a bigot who opposes XYZ!"

Person A: reasons that if honest self-expression and concern expressed with nuance yields nothing but insults in response that maybe their original position was too cautious...
