This is the standard approach to dissension:
Attack the character of the dissenter.

Flavio, my daitribes stem from compassion for
those (yes, you) who have been sold a lie and
worse yet, have been convinced to make it their
own.

I've made plenty of money when I spent
10 years in the internet industry. It
doesn't change my ideas about the gap
between the rich and the poor and inequity
in economics and politics.  My ideas
stem from compassion and not from what
I may personally possess at any given
point in time.

Sure I have.  But that doesn't mean its good.
Nor does the fact that it's the best we have
at present.  We have to ideate the better before
we can work to achieve it.
