Massively oversimplified but is this linked with the idea of right-creep in politics over the past decades? In so much as it could be argued, that centre and centre-left moderates have given more ground in political discourse and policy making. If one ties this in with the millennial general feeling of disenfranchisement (figuratively speaking) then feeling that anyone willing to discuss a compromise with the right is a scab/neo-lib etc becomes the knee jerk reaction?

It's not the throwing of shade that bothers me, it's the weird backward logic that moderates willing to accept pragmatic compromise for the sake of making progress are somehow fratonising with the enemy. Moderates being anyone who doesn't immediately shout "Gammon" when a centre-right argument is given. It drowns out all sensible debate on a subject.
