Communism Marries a Truth to a Lie
Communism employs a tactic where they intertwine a truth with a lie to deceive people. An example from history is how communism presented the truth that people were suffering, and then falsely claimed that communism could liberate them. By blending a partial truth with a misleading belief, they engage in manipulation by getting individuals to accept the lie following the acknowledged truth.
Subjective Offense to False Conclusions
The tactic of labeling someone as racist based on subjective offense is discussed, where if someone claims to be offended, it is considered true, but concluding that the person is a racist is a lie. This approach, commonly utilized in Critical Race Theory, leverages personal offense to unjustly label individuals and constructs a deceptive narrative.
Diverse Perspectives Leveraged for Activism
The narrative that diversity enhances strength is presented as a truth, but the assertion that bringing in activists with counter-hegemonic ideologies aligns with this strength is identified as a lie. The deceit here lies in the false premise that activist inclinations are necessary for fostering diversity, highlighting the manipulation through linking true diversity with false activist agendas.
