Tyranny of Clichés
Book • 2012
In this book, Jonah Goldberg exposes and dismantles various liberal clichés that are often used to cheat in the war of ideas.
He argues that liberals hide radical arguments in homespun aphorisms and deny having an ideological agenda while vigorously pursuing it.
Goldberg examines several common clichés, such as 'the living constitution,' 'social justice,' and 'diversity is strength,' and reveals how these concepts are deeply ideological and often accepted uncritically.
The book is written with humor and passion, aiming to show how these clichés shape our thinking and can lead to self-destruction.
