Glad to see even on other subs people just revert to "you just a conpro troll!" accusations when called out.
Because god forbid people have their own original ideas, you never did so they must not have either and stole it from some group they are trying to fit in with.
People see the negative association and then completely stop thinking and don't bother to assess whether the specific argument being made is legitimate or not, even if such arguments originated long before the "bad people group" (conpro) even existed. It's why the cointelpro tactic of creating goofy conspiracy theories and organizing a "cult" around them to discredit actual conspiracies works so well. (QAnon, anyone?)
It's one (another) of the reasons why I think nationalists are more right than anyone else. People are extremely tribal by nature. It appears to be genetically hardwired into all life as a survival mechanism, most notably for social creatures (like humans). They like and forgive their own for almost anything, but attack and hate "the other" for almost anything.
