Leftists and Progressives are notorious for what will heretofore be referred to as E.N.T.T.s, or "excuses not to think." They always have means of preventing any intelligent discussion on various subjects in the following ways:
Buzzwords
Leftist buzzwords are the most common way to create E.N.T.T.s. Buzzwords are meant to compartmentalize someone's entire point of view into an easily dismissed, easily ridiculed box (and usually highly inaccurate). Here are some common examples:
- "Islamaphobe" is often used by anyone critical of Islam. It gives Leftists an excuse to ignore the violence and subjugation. [1]
- "Racist," "Nazi," and "White Supremacist," are thrown around when anyone dares to tell the truth about how many problems with black Americans today are actually self-imposed through the breakdown of the family, absence of fathers, and the influence of Rap and Hip-Hop music on so-called "black culture."
- "Homophobe" is used to ignore the fact that Homosexuality is a sin and that ex-homosexuals DO exist.[2]
Logical fallacies
Many liberals are fond of using logical fallacies while debating. A very common one is to repeat the same discredited argument over and over again in different words as if it acts as a sufficient talking point; this tactic was used by anti-Trump Democrats in late 2019 when arguing for the impeachment coup against Donald Trump.[3] Another type of fallacy that they use is to improperly apply certain logical tenants to deliberately misconstrue and deceive.
