Obama Speaks to Black Men re: Kamala, and: Two Leftist Pathologies: (a) No One Disagrees with Them for Good Reasons; (b) Obsession with and Fabrication of Hidden Motives

Well, like the title says.

   The postpostmodern left thinks that it's impossible to reasonably disagree with them. This meshes well with their obsession with the fabrication of hidden motives--if you do disagree with them, no matter how cogent your arguments, it must be because of some hidden prejudice (here insert The Standard Litany of -isms and -"phobias").

   This tendency to freestyle speculation about motives may be partially grounded in Freud--a hero of recent Continental philosophy. That's always been my guess, but I really don't know.

   It's not quite true...but it's almost true...that they only have one argument: You're a ____ist/phobe.* They simply repeat the same nonsense over and over and over... It shouldn't work, but it does. We've turned things like racism etc. into such horrible moral crimes that people are terrified to be accused of them, no matter how preposterously. As long as this remains true, they'll keep making ungrounded accusations, and they'll keep winning.

* The incidental joke there is, of course, that that isn't even an argument...
