Its just a variation of the slippery slope fallacy. 'If you think this person who criticises identity politics is OK, next you'll be supporting racists and sexists' (even tho that's also identity politics)

But, Helen, if X can't criticise Y for being evil, and can't criticise Y for leading to evil, then X might have to *shudders* engage with the argument Y presents. And as X is good, and Y differs, Y must be evil by definition.

I saw it put best like this: "A score of 99 is now failing"

I mean, it deviates away from 100 and towards a failing grade

And artists! We need to shackle all artists before they begin a World War and attempt to exterminate gays, gypsies, and Jews.

I agree this is a huge problem. Any political idea can be made to seem like it ends in an extreme, so it's hard to get ideas heard on their actual merits. Especially true when economics is at play... socialism, capitalism, etc.

Ideologues judge truth based on what is proximal or distal to their transcendental signifiers--an epistemology based on a predetermined locus of virtue. This flattens & distorts their conceptual maps. which blinds them to emergent, more functional, perpendicular truths.
