The wholesale caricaturing of others is a necessary component in populism, for example, as an ostensible "democratic socialist", you are prone to constantly caricature the wealthy as being "evuhl" as you put it, all populists scapegoat, including the likes of you, that is what populists do. I, am not a populist me self, I, am in fact an elitist, none the less, I can also be conniving, particularly in the context of war without quarter, and so am perfectly willing to turn the populist cudgel back upon the populists themselves, were it suits my interests to do so, fight fire with fire so to say.jbird4049 wrote:Smitty-48 wrote:

Socialist dead enders; "blah-blah-blah". /shrugs
Fatuous virtue signaling?
Okay. I'll be the first to admit that I can be a first class twit.

However, this wholesale caricaturing of others is still stupid. It a way to avoid talking to those who are different. It is certainty a very good way of creating a bubble. It too substitutes virtue signalling for thought.
Just find the most asinine example of the other side, or just wholesale insulting them with something like the deplorables, and you can show just how good one's own side is.

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Sanders is a Socialist, and all Socialists are Communists, and all Communists are Soviets, and the Soviets are Russian, therefore Bernie works for the Russians, who wanted their agent as President.

Or something like that. Or was that Trump?
