reading the Canceling of the American Mind and the intro outlines how both the political left + right have built rhetorical defenses that avoid actual debate.
the left’s: complex, layering personal attacks to block any criticism
the right’s: simpler, dismissing experts, journalists and Trump critics
both rely on what the authors dub "The Great Untruth of Ad Hominem,” which is that “bad people only have bad opinions.”
we see this happening across the board with the H1B debate: calling someone a billionaire, big tech, indian, white, MAGA, second generation, etc. to refute their points.
society as a whole argues for power and status using identity politics. seemingly everyone is guilty. 11 replies
