It's worth looking at what kinds of things parties are proposing.
How do you feel about wealth seizures? Retrospective changes to tax deals and pensions? Laws retrospectively changing?
These are quite bad, even seditious. At some point when actors appear to working on behalf of enemies what are you supposed to feel?
On the other hand, there are people confounding powers with rights. Changing rules and laws going forward might be against ones wishes, but supposing you have freedom you can choose to opt out.
There is something terrible going on in the meta where words are being confused to the point where conversations can not even happen because of confusion and mental models that lead to interactive errors that turn simple statements into threats of violence where there was none.
It really feels like denialism and lack of caring about language is at the heart of it.
If some people can't think conditionally, do not know the difference between blame and causation, don't understand what trust means in terms of contributions and tracking things ... Where to start?
