A bias where one preemptively accuses an opponent of being a certain kind of person (racist, conspiracy theorist, radical, etc.) and then interprets everything they say through that accusatory lens. The accusation functions like a Miranda warning—everything you say can and will be used against you in the court of bias. Once the label is applied, no argument can be heard on its merits; everything confirms the accusation. The bias protects the accuser from having to engage, because the opponent has been pre-judged.
"He mentioned concerns about immigration. 'Racist!' she declared—and from that moment, everything he said confirmed it. Accusation Bias: the label as lens, the accusation as filter. He might have had valid points; they never got heard. The bias didn't just judge; it prevented judgment entirely. Miranda Bias: you have the right to remain silent—because anything you say will be used against you."
