Have you had someone accuse you of having a view of economics and it's rooted in anger or hate but really you're stating an economic law to the best of your ability?

I've had this issue when discussing minimum wage recently. Despite hundreds of times explaining my views on anarchy, government, free association, regulation and others knowing my age i was accused of disliking others and having a boomer mentality. This was on a social media platform which i had been in a group with many of these people. It seems that they cannot distinguish between what i want and/ or what is economic law.

If i state what i believe is an economic law I'm not necessarily saying what i want from society but rather what is. What i want may be a different matter. Though if i state what is true then i believe they'll be consequences for going against reality but that's outside my control or anybody else's.

Have you had this issue of being accused of disliking others based on what you say is an economic law?
