I don't identify with it at all. But I abhor the current trend of simply calling someone a name and pretending you've won on moral grounds, low-effort discourse like that should always be called out. It's dogwhistling plain and simple.

I think you're taking the response a very narrow set of people have to this dynamic and assuming a substantial contingent of readers are sharing this response. When I discuss the observations made in the original post with people, the overwhelming response is "of course" without a hint of controversy.
