Because there is a kernel of truth in an otherwise very silly argument that has resulted in a lot of people drawing very incorrect conclusions that then upset other people, who ignore the kernel of truth because of the wheelbarrow full of horse-manure that has completely obscured it. Then everyone got mad that the discussion was happening, which has transformed the conversation into a meme which continues to reinfect leftist spaces because of the cheap pleasure derived from bashing one another on top of the head for having dumb ideas, while pointedly ignoring our own dumb ideas.

Except me. All of my ideas are brilliant.
