It's a gaslighting phrase Leftists came up with years ago to pretend that them getting their way is the natural state of things. To describe reality as it is (or should be) is always Left wing, Liberal, or similar. It means "stop fighting the natural order, I am perpetually, inevitably, correct."
That would probably be a fairly accurate representation of my world view when I was 14, if I had ever actually bothered to think about it that deeply. Really I was just internalizing what the TV and my teachers told me as though they were perfectly trustworthy authority figures. "If I'm simply repeating what someone who is correct says, then that must obviously make me correct" is the way it's conceptualized as the conscious level.
Thank god I eventually grew out of it.
Now imagine the hordes of people who didn’t even reach the 14 year old level of development you speak of. Its probably close to 90% of the world.
Correct, like how they call themselves 'progressive' as that assumes through language games, that their argument and idology is the natural progession of society.
Not the batshit ideas of those that were never told no enough..
Word games are a waste of time. The only language that truly speaks to them is force.
it's also a product of leftist capture of the media and academia. nearly every TV man tells them the left is correct, and so people who don't think about who's paying all the TV men just assume leftism is the natural state of things.
It's funny now because of the knots they tie themselves into to justify how sterilizing kids is good and natural, etc.
I feel like all the pilpul he wrote to try to rationalize leftist insanity eventually broke Scott Alexander. They want to believe leftism is rational SO BAD, regardless of facts. Leftists live in a perpetual state of doublethink that will make anyone go insane.
