I mean, I do personally think that’s an issue, but I think that it’s an issue which has been thoroughly astroturfed so any time someone attempts to use that term to succinctly describe the issue it evokes an antagonistic paradigm which prevents discussion of the actual issues. That’s actually a great example of how social media and journalism can be used to pre-program the conversation, to prevent real discourse.

The important thing to recognize is that the types of people who do these things will gladly use any issue at all which happens to serve their purposes. Treating the world as though certain issues are always good and other issues are always bad will make you easy prey for those such as them.
