Part 7/14:
Smears and labels: Calling dissenters "woke right," "anti-Semitic," or associating them with extremists to dismiss their arguments.
Guilt-by-association: Implying that anti-war or America First advocates share traits with racists or anti-Semites.
Identity-based morality: Judging individuals based on their group identity rather than actions or ideas—for example, minimizing civilian casualties by rationalizing them based on the side's perceived legitimacy.
Selective evidence and censorship: Cherry-picking facts that support aggressive policies while ignoring information that contradicts their narrative. They also dismiss or suppress factual discussions that challenge their dogmas, often accusing critics of "dog whistling" or conspiracy-mongering.
