RE: The Veil of Good that Evil Hides Within

in #philosophy8 years ago

Evil is often cloaked in benign sounding names or terminology. For example, Black Lives Matter sounds almost noble but cloaks something nefarious, violence. ALL lives matter, or no lives matter, no one group has right to live supercede any other. I'm not attempting to open the abortion debate, but to those who support life, it is murder. However, when given benign sounding terms such as "the removal of unwanted extra-uterine tissue," it sounds just fine. Like in the issue of "fake news" (which you did an outstanding piece on) whoever controls the narrative controls the world, or so to speak. It's how Hitler got the German people to endorse the evil that was Nazism.

Absolutely, euphemisms mask and cloud understanding too, I can do a post on that too :P Words matter, definitions matter, I have a lot of work on that too :D Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you, I enjoy your work.

You're welcome, thank you :)
