Life isn't simple nor is this issue. Nearly anything can be misrepresented if boiled down a simplistic view. For example "foreigners aren't from here, so they don't belong here" is a simplistic take with a simplistic conclusion which is able to galvanise a good portion of society.

This isn't even a strawman, it's like an entire fucking straw city.

Is it really that difficult to understand an example of a bad simplistic take to drive home the fact that simplistic representations aren't good?

It can be for people who only want to see their opinions reinforced
