[WEEKEND RECAP 04-05-25] There’s a peculiar habit in modern political discourse: when Leftists can’t win an argument, they don’t sharpen their reasoning—they just reach for the nearest “-ist” label. Racist, sexist, fascist—the terminology varies, but the tactic remains the same. It’s the debate equivalent of slamming the “emergency shutdown” button because your opponent’s logic is overheating your cognitive processors. Now, before the usual suspects start drafting their angry subtweets, let’s clarify: this isn’t about dismissing legitimate concerns over discrimination. It’s about calling out a pattern—one where lazy thinking masquerades as moral superiority.
The Intellectual Diet of the Perpetually Outraged Critical thinking is hard. It requires questioning assumptions, weighing evidence, and occasionally admitting, “Huh, maybe I was wrong.” Unfortunately, that’s not how the grievance machine operates. Instead, it runs on a steady diet of:
- Slogans over substance (Why explain why a policy fails when you can just call its supporters heartless?)
- Academic groupthink (Where “peer-reviewed” often means “peers who already agree with me”)
- Emotional hijacking (If facts don’t work, rage might)
