Whatever the concern being discussed -- from economics, to politics, to social needs -- it's generally being argued only in opposition to its shadow(s).

It's less about candidly stating what an ideology stands for, and what it's doing, it's more about speculating on the nefarious plots it is supposedly preventing. As polarisation becomes more pronounced, an in-group's conjecture about an out-group's (ulterior) motives is given greater latitude.

Fixating on the shadows never reveals the light.
