Yeah, that’s standard conservative strategy - you are either with us, or you are aligned with whatever group is the current Boogeyman. AFTER 9/11, you either supported everything the government did, including two unfunded endless wars, or else you were an Al Qaeda Terrorist.
Today there is a choice. If you don’t support Israel and genocide, you are anti-Semitic and Hamas. If you are against MAGA, you are ANTIFA. If you protest, you are a domestic terrorist.

Pick a location.
Figure out their word.
Everything they don’t like is that.

I’d say it’s a universal tendency. But education can fight this tendency.

I wonder what aspects of education fight the tendency, like if there end up being any things that specifically help more than others, or if it’s more like an overall-function thing. Or maybe humility??
Or what if it’s just an extremely commonly learned behavior that most people just have to unlearn

It’s in-group/out-group psychology. So, it’s everywhere (including here) and one must be mindful to counteract it.
