Far too often I hear people accuse others of "hopping aboard the fear train" or "fear parading", when from the looks of it they're just as guilty of it as the people they accuse.

Only because I find these “it’s actually the people who complain about complainers” and “it’s actually the people who accuse others of fear” to be really convenient and lazy ways of avoid self reflection of any kind, I’m wondering if you could expand on it to make it more interesting?
Like, in what way is someone who disagrees with people “hopping aboard the fear train” actually guilty of being fearful themselves? On first glance that’s absurd, but curious to hear your reasoning.
