Ideological reflexes.

How do you recognize ideology? One simple way of doing it is trying to see how many reflexes you can set off by a statement, a blog post, a comment, or especially an argument. Let's start a little meta:

The Left is:

Totalitarian,
Meek,
Defends islamofascist babykillers,
Hugs the trees
Splintered
United against freedom and democracy

Feminism is:

Too radical!
Too splintered! (doesn't mean anything)


And etc, and etc. The reason why I am posting this here is because I was reading some blog comments, probably just to make myself annoyed. In these blog comments were various allegations. And that's okay, criticism usually is. But wherever you have a debate between someone on the Left and an opponent on the right and they become insulting, or it just winds on and on, or whatever it might be - something regular people can recognize and respect - they play totalitarian card. "WAAARGH! Beneath your Palestine democracy loving exterior hides a STALINIST!" To be fair, the same thing can be said for autonomous or syndicalist groups. But it is cheap and trite. Typically, these actions can be found by 20-30 something right-wing men who fire off a volley at the first chance they get.
