After more research and analysis than I care to admit to I've finally come to understand what we're up against well enough to begin seeing ways to fight back along political warfare lines.
We are at the tail end, and final push of a century long political warfare effort, and revolution against the American founding, and Anglo-Saxon political tradition. It appears that the most potent psychological tool of the opposition is the exploitation of agreeableness. We don't want to think of ourselves as bad, or evil, and will make the choice to be discriminating with language to avoid cognitive dissonance.
This often comes in the form of "white lies," or apparently minor untruths told to spare the feelings of another. The opposition takes advantage of this by aggressively asserting emotional arguments based on a paramoral framework. This paramoral framework is a largely internally consistent construct that follows from the pseudo-real conceptualization of the world the opposition holds.
In other words, the left doesn't ‘live’ in reality, they ‘live’ in a false, pseudo-reality with concerns that tend to not be totally aligned with reality (Covid risk, climate change doomsday, transgender ideology), and are fundamentally religious in nature. This pseudo-reality produces a moral framework that, because it's based in pseudo-reality, is not in accordance with reality.
However, it is human nature that when a person becomes emotionally upset about something others tend to assume that the thing causing the emotional disturbance is real, and they give the distressed person the benefit of the doubt. It is through such emotional assertions of paramorality that the left makes people hostage to, or indoctrinates them into pseudo-reality. Perhaps the most obvious single instance of this was then Senator Jeff Flake reversing his vote after being yelled at by a hysterical feminist activist with pseudo-real concerns (rape culture) in an elevator.
My theory is that it is possible to immunize people against paramoral assertions, and perhaps even begin to rescue hostages from pseudo-reality, by unapologetically reasserting real morality, and polarizing paramoral assertions. This should be pursued along similar information warfare lines that the left employs: fix it through repetition, polarize it to encourage enforcement of the Overton window around it.
It seems most appropriate that the first messages should assert truth as a moral end unto itself. "It is always right to tell the truth," "telling the truth is always a moral good," "it is never wrong to tell the truth," followed closely by the repetition of the opposite, “Lying is a moral wrong with real consequences,” and “white lies are lies too.” I believe it would also be useful to fix the concept that asking another to lie to spare your feelings is wrong, and bad.
These messages, once internalized, become an effective inoculation against paramoral assertions that would temp one to tell a lie to spare feelings, and conjure feelings of righteous indignation when confronted with such a demand. Once inoculated against paramoral assertions it becomes possible to break the mental barriers Frankfurt School Marxist Herbert Marcuse described as a necessary pre-censorship of conservative ideas at the level of thought through the creation of strong cultural taboos. We may then begin the slaughter of the sacred cows of the left, one by one, by reasserting truth.
This strategy also represents a potent weapon against the phenomenon of "controlled opposition," as re-grounding in truth acts as an injection of spine for moderate GOP that becomes ever more potent as the Overton window begins to shift.
Truth is on our side. It is sheathed as a sword on our hip. Let us draw and speak it.
A very important way of framing the issue of truth is that truth is like a correct medical diagnosis and lies are like wrong medical diagnoses. It is never acceptable for a doctor to give an incorrect diagnosis to make you feel better, while allowing you to get worse and perhaps die. Truth is the same thing but about all the problems in society and human life, not just medicine.
Yes, this is basically the top line in what Jordan Peterson is saying right now, "Tell the Truth (or At Least Don't Lie). Faced with encroaching tyranny, it's hard to know exactly where do you personally stick your neck out, at risk of becoming the target. But if all of us make a commitment to never being the conduit through which a lie is inserted into the public consciousness, and what's more, to always speak the truth as we know it, and ideally, make a point of refuting things that we know to be lies with truth, then we can at least know that we are doing our part, and, the more of us who do this, the more the lies begin to crumble away.
