The Voice of No One
Leftists, from an intellectual point of view, are nonbeings. They are empty people; hollow men. In a discussion, they neither move the needle an inch to one side nor to the other, because they can contribute nothing to the discussion but noise.
Here is a recent example. This gem of perfectly polished nonsense was left on my blog:
“Ann Coulter has said that the US should carry out genocide in the Middle East, and Dana Loesch has encouraged violence against her political opponents. Neither are qualified to speak on any sort of political issue, much less womens rights…”
Leftists are non-rational, and cannot argue. Because they cannot argue, they must silence any argument unheard.
There are two ways to silence an argument unheard. One is to say that the wording of the opponent is so impolite and offensive and insensitive, that it is beneath one’s dignity to argue. This is called political correctness.
Please note that these hollow men are never able to be polite themselves, nor able to say things that do not offend. The rule does not apply to them, only to you.
The other is to invent some spurious accusation against the opponent, and then say that, due to the guilt of the opponent, the opponent has lost the right to speak at all. This is a strawman argument, combined with ‘no platformming’.
Please note that these hollow men are never disqualified themselves, no matter their lies, no matter how outrageous their lies.
The rule does not apply to them, only to you. Once one sees the Leftist pathetic inability to put statements in a row to form an argument, one cannot un-see it.
It is glaring.
And the form never changes. The Left is as stiff and rigid in their thinking, speech, and forms of action as the stylized singers in a Japanese kabuki play.
Notice, please, that even when I say directly to a hollow man what the flaws in his argument are, he does not answer (except with more of the same) does not react (except with more of the same) and cannot correct this argument to avoid the flaw.
Hypocrisy is not an accidentally side effect of Leftism. It is the point of Leftism.
You cannot argue with a hypocrite since his stance is all play-acting. He does not have any case, any evidence, nothing.
All he has is a false accusation that you are rude, and a false accusation that you have done something that disqualifies you from speaking.
