So instead of solving anything, everybody pretends they don't know what's going on, and spend years misdiagnosing the issue, talking in circles, and wasting time.
Javier Milei: âI thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it.â
âBut what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.â
Leftists use pathos to override logos in order to push their activism. The âpity playâ is a common form of this. It disarms you by flooding you with pity, guilt, & moral urgency so your judgment and discernment never gets a chance.
Cue the crying child, or the one-sided history. Then comes the demand: accept the leftist moral frame and the activism that follows.
If you resist, the label is not just an insult. Itâs a social activation switch, greenlighting attacks on you: âracist,â âhateful.â The point is to mobilize bystanders, raise the social cost of saying no, and make you the example so others learn that compliance is the price of staying âdecent.â
