Irrational, illogical, predicated on fear and fallacious "argument." Not to mention on pure, 195-proof golden-age thinking, the belief that life was somehow better at a previous point in time, which is transparently false. Ask the people from the times when polio ran rampant, or when your employer could lock you in the building 12 hours a day, or way back to the beginning before all that "evil" technology, when all we had was caves and spears--and an estimated one third of all early humans died from homicide.
