The Alinskyites have used ridicule so often that there is no chance for the kind of meaningful debate which should exist when discussing ideas of importance. The kind of debate about ideas and principles that we like to have here on Substack only exists with people who oppose the Alinskyites and their whole twisted agenda. We are demonstrably capable of having this type of debate, as evidenced by the proliferation of like-minded blogs on Substack.
We who oppose the Alinskyites are aching for the serious discussion of serious ideas, but we cannot have that in any meaningful sense with them, the adherents of The Narrative, whether we are talking about Covidianism, economics, labor issues, global warming, the role of government, or anything else. Their ideas, quite simply, are so bad that they would never survive the metaphoric trial by combat in the battleground of ideas they would have to endure in a serious debate.
The Narrative has grown into the reality-displacing fantasy believed in by millions, perhaps billions, in that environment, one that is devoid of any lasting connection to objective reality. No part of The Narrative stand up to any kind of serious inquiry, and its devotees will work to ensure that it never has to.
That puts us in the position of having little other choice than to employ ridicule ourselves, as our host has pointed out is being done with memes to great effect. The narrative needs to be ridiculed, because it is ridiculous.
Exposing them to the same kind of ridicule they have long weaponized against us puts them at a serious disadvantage. Their view of reality is such fertile ground for ridicule that it's almost too easy. It's a whole lot more difficult to ridicule objective reality, which is the position in which they now find themselves. They can't win in a serious debate, and they can't win in a battle of memes when their side lends itself to ridicule so well.
In engaging them at their own level, we reintroduce the idea that in a battle between two opposing ideas, the one that has objective reality on their side has an advantage that should, over time, make them the winners. The Alinskyite use of ridicule only works for the reality-impaired side if their opposition (us) continues to employ only conventional debate in response.
In the twisted pseudo-reality the Alinskyite set has created, those of us who still adhere to objective reality are the radicals now.
Easy and effective... but that cuts both ways.
