Well Done, Great Article.
This is a fairly long article to read, but this guy Michael Anton is absolutely brilliant. I urge a careful read.
All you need to know is that the 40 and under crowd distrusts government and dislikes politicians almost as much as I do. The difference is, in spite of knowing how corrupt and inept government is, the under 40 crowd wants more government.
The psychological aberration of ‘Magic Thinking’ is the hallmark of the liberal leftist mind. It allows their twisted minds to hold opposites as both appropriate in their reasoning. We really need to face the reality that we the people of moral perspective have lost America because of our inattention and lazy tolerance of evil in our midst. Now that evil saunters across the dead republic, flaunting its aberrantcy.
If they can make you believe absurdities they can make you commit atrocities.

Yep he’s spot on. The article actually was posted earlier but didn’t get any traction. Maybe more people will see it this time.
This is a great analysis of leftist logic. It’s actually part of the religion known as hegelian philosophy. To get to the roots of it, please check out James Lindsay’s website, New Discourses, or his youtube channel of lectures also called New Discourses.

WOnderful. I was laughing darkly as I recognized the well-written descriptions of tactics in use daily by the leftist regime-ists.

” I partially funded gain of function and it’s a good thing I did cuz we needed a vacine”

I propose we name this the
Fauci Fallacy.
Jmho
This is a wonderful article. It brings so much clarity to the current divide between the deplorables and their “superiors”.
It analyzes 7 leftist methods which, once they are spelled out, you realize you are seeing them being used every day.
When conservatives complain they can’t hold a rational discussion with these “progressives”, the points in this article make it clear why that is.
The author's "short guide" does a good job of explaining tactics used by anti-American propagandists. What's lacking is explaining HOW to go on the offensive to combat and defeat our enemies. "We must calibrate our resistance carefully ..." is not a war plan.
We have reached a place where pro-American political prisoners are rotting in prison right now. We are in a war and we need a unifing person, voice and tactics to go on the offensive. Unlike the dems, we remain divided and lack the weapons we need to win - IMHO.
Pro-American and Christian Americans lack control of any major media outlet; we lack control of our public schools; we lack control of Hollywood; we lack control of major social and digital outlets. Until we take control of these institutions, our children and useful idiots will continue to be influenced by the lying propaganda of the left - IMHO.
Yes, I like th earticle. I have shared it with many already.
BTW, the dynamic is not copnfioned to just our USA. Its an international problem.And it has resulted in recent violence
in Australia where resistence to the left have been called “anarchists,” and in France where atriots have been called “selfish.”
Real violence is the result of these attacks by the left, and that seems to be what they want.
I hoe the left boites off far more tan it can chew, they want violence in America, but just enough to cow the whole population. They may get a lot more than that.
We’re not guilty of that. We would never do such a thing. Besides, the right does it too,
Nicely worded..
Now, how to counter?
I live my life according to the Popeye theory.
What, you may ask, is the Popeye theory?
It consists of two parts:
1) I yam what I yam and that’s all that I yam.
2) That’s alls I can stand, ‘cuz I can’t stands no more.
My way of dealing with these people, in accordance with the Popeye theory, is as follows:
Turn to face them, put the meanest scowl on my face that I can, raise my middle finger, and in firm tone say “F@#k You”.
Then turn and walk away
Ping.
Good article, but the titles of each of the tactics are way too obscure to resonate with or be picked up by most people.
“The Celebration Parallax”??
Who the hell is going to understand what that (or his other terms) is referring to.
Seems like he went out of his way to make them as unintelligible as possible.
I think this needs to be revisited as it begins accelerating.
