Imagine this: no electricity on Taiwan’s western coast. Government ministries offline. Internet gone. Airport systems shut. No explosion heard. But order collapses just the same.

Liberals view morality in terms of teams instead of actions/consequences.
“If the evil Reds do it, it’s because they are evil and want to cause suffering. But if we justice seeking Blues do it, it’s because it was the just thing to do and any causalities are an unfortunate cost we have to pay” and if you point out their hypocritical view by giving examples they cry about so called what-about-ism.
exactly how words like “autocracy” and “authoritarianism” work. if a state we support does something, then we acknowledge the difficult context of the decision and how justified and necessary it is. if an enemy state does something, just use the Bad Label. they’re Bad and did it because they’re Bad. there is no actual content that doesn’t come back to “they are illegitimate because they are the bad guys and we are legitimate because we are the good guys.”
(fuck you Anne Applebaum)
Fucking Parenti, always relevant!
Oh… so Anne Applewood’s article “The Bad Guys are winning” was an encapsulation of that mentality. Lmfao she does that all the time?
While also obsessing over calling out hypocrisy. Like, if youre gonna be a hypocrite dont be hypocritical about it. I want good things to happen to my friends and allies and bad things to happen to my enemies, this frees me up entirely to hold double standards. Like it’s okay for us to kill nazis and billionaires and if the system doesnt like it, fuck that system. But I will also be mad at that same system for letting billionaires kill us. The moral high ground is a sad place to be and I dont advise seeking it. Play to win.
