The need for such an exploration is proven when we fail, and fail together, in an organized way. Conversely, when we are being failed. Would we find ourselves where we're at now in the us if our normative ethics hadn't been perverted and weaponized against us before being drowned in a gas station shitter by a walking cautionary tale of man? I often find myself wondering what anyone is even complaining about, vis a vis that outcome, in context to the things they then say about ethics and normativity.
Like, if this is all true, then what's the problem with maga and magats, anyway? What makes their policies bad, or wrong? This is another angle where I can see maga as a disaffected leftist phenomena. We're talking about people whove decided that our rules for justice and fairness were a bunch of bullshit and mere opinions that only a sucker would accept - and the real rule is take whatever you can steal at whomevers expense we must. Ironic, in that they kept bitching about the pop culture lefts obsession with anti realist and post modern moral interpretations would be the downfall of the nation......and then they beat the left to the finish line on that count. It's, apparently, the one thing that the left managed to convince the right of before they convinced themselves.
