>>11366857Oh, and it's not like you guys are sports team fanboys. Rather you are grasping the objective reality of the situation. SpaceX has moved forward the measure on launch technology. NASA shouldn't be rigged around SLS, SLS shouldn't exist at all, nor all the fruits of what NASA will do crafted around SLS to make it look good in the eyes of the unsuspecting, and to hit rhetorical checkmarks to justify past actions to force in and belligerently preferentially continue SLS and the dismissal of any other way. In trying to set the terms of defining who you are and make you believe it, this poster is trying to gaslight you to make you think there is something wrong with you and your behavior when there is not.
The sports team analogy fits the SLS fanboy to a T. Here's an SLS fan, and its existence is the only thing that matters, especially so he can lord over its continuation over people who don't share his fan position.
Painting you as just a a sports team fan allows him to do two things in his mind. The first is dismissing anything you say at all about SLS by discrediting the other side as being tainted in their motivation. He doesn't care about the truth of the matter, he cares about hiding the validity of any others who do not share his rigid fan favoritism viewpoint from any sort of legitimacy to him. It also lets him off the hook: if he can paint others as having compromised positions, then that allows him to behave in the very same manner. He not only wants to behave mendaciously, but he wants to feel completely justified in doing so.
