- 93po 2y agointeresting how we even see this happening constantly in the US, on both sides. just accuse your opposition of being a criminal as much as you can, and throw as much at them as possible, and when the absolute smallest thing sticks, you blow it out of proportion
- vkou 2y agoWell, of course. Loudly and repeatedly accusing other people of things you are guilty off is a pretty good strategy to make low-information people stop giving a shit about what you did. It also works on people who don't believe in an objective reality, people who can't tell two shades of gray apart, and on people who are just looking for some thread of motivated reasoning to excuse your behavior.
