Wow I didn’t know that Nazis invented the idea of distinguishing between friends and enemies. Apparently there were no enemies before the Nazis made up the idea. You’re right, Jordan. I’m a Nazi because I think that people who want me dead are my enemies. Only Nazis would arrive at that conclusion. Great point. Thanks man.
For the 2nd day in a row, @MattWalshBlog
has explicitly made the Friend-Enemy Distinction, a concept penned by Carl Schmitt, chief jurist of the Third Reich. And he does so in front of @benshapiro
on the @charliekirk11
podcast.
Let’s give Matt the benefit of the doubt and assume he doesn’t understand what he is saying or its origin. Flippant use of the Friend-Enemy Distinction is extremely reckless and irresponsible. Matt loses credibility for not doing his due diligence in researching the concept. But if Matt even understands the superficial aspects of Carl Schmitt, then he knows he’s quoting not only a Nazi, but a major figure in the forming of Hitler’s philosophy and evil enterprise.
More likely, this is a direct (or thinly veiled) attack on the fundamental liberal tenets of the Constitution where we the people are the sovereign. Instead, according to Schmitt, the sovereign makes that existential distinction between friend and enemy in the political sphere, and the sovereign is NOT going to be you, the people — it will be your infallible leader or government who has total authority.
If you’re an American patriot, you must understand what he is saying here, and the sheer balls Matt has to do so in front of Shapiro.

Do not allow the emotional turmoil we are all in excuse this behavior from Matt. It’s your duty to stand against authoritarianism in all forms. Talk to Matt — explain what he is doing, and if he is unapologetic, he is the actual enemy to freedom.
Looks like Carl Schmitt doesn't get enough credit. Imagine how difficult and awkward warfare was back before he apparently invented the concept of being able to tell the difference between your friends and your enemies.

Why would people who constantly undermine and subvert you, while pretending to be your friends, not want you to think about the friend/foe heuristic?
It's a riddle, shrouded in mystery, wrapped in enigma, marinated in paradox, deep fried in confusion and dipped in paradox.
