Ah, the classic "us vs. them", "if you're not with us you're with
the
terrorists" ploy. It plays well to a group of insecure patriots to
rally them into suppressing dissent, but is not particularly

participation from a diverse global community, and is supposed to be
fighting against its various systemic biases rather than encouraging
them.
