So you are not going to be so quick to call out shills and political chicanery in the future in case you might be wrong? That would be wonderful but time is rapidly running out.

Oh sure. The exact sentiment all extremists use to reinforce radical leaps in reasoning to drive people to act without thinking. It literally is the first major component of cults and other extremists groups. "The end is near". No it isn't. You're not fooling anybody.

What radical leap?

That somehow it's justified to vastly amplify false positives of identifying so-called "shills" because "time is running out". A direct and explicit threat signal to cancel thinking and hesitation or doubt. Like cults do.
