Exactly! But what worries me is that I am beginning to see a lack of this exact understanding more and more. On both sides equally lately too.

I have been labeled a trump supporter for not agreeing with a specific thing. I have been labeled a "kamala communist" all that stuff, for the same in the reverse. I have been banned for hate speech for saying "Yeah this is my field of study, we dont actually do this - it would be dangerous - that is just something you hear politically active" - literally in an "Give me an alternate opinion" subreddit.

It's just like that little short film "Kill All Others" - I am being mistaken for being in the opposite side when really I have not picked a side. This ostracization is becoming more common. Hyperpoliticalization.

Couldn't agree more. I have been called everything from a leftist shill to an NPC to a bootlicker, depending on whether I am trying to engage with someone to the left or right of me. It's a little frustrating... I wouldn't even say that I haven't picked a side- I absolutely do have political stances, and I'm pretty far left overall, but that doesn't stop people farther left than me of accusing me of being in bed with the fascists/"part of the problem"
