Maybe there is a little of that. I think it mostly boils down to wanting to control the narrative.
_Everyone_ wants to control narrative. Especially people who think they are right. People in power, leaders, managers, unions, workers, parents, kids... all, absolutely every last one wants to control narrative.
It's relatively cheap and effective.
- zen_1 4y ago>_Everyone_ wants to control narrative. At least the marketplace of ideas types tend to want to control the narrative by having the most compelling arguments, while the CCP (and other authoritarians) are clearly above such nonsense.
- philliphaydon 4y agoSo they just want to control the narrative without any arguments?
- zen_1 4y agoWell their (CCP's) compulsion is entirely irrelevant to whatever arguments they're pushing.
- mc32 4y agoI don't think so. No. Often the arguments are won by omitting any counterarguments and by framing.
