This episode of Hammer Time explores how the "moral licensing" phenomenon, where people believe they can act immorally due to fighting a perceived greater good, shapes the behavior and rhetoric of the political left in the West, specifically in Germany and the US.
Key Takeaways:
German companies are using diversity as a public relations strategy to distract from economic problems and appease the left-leaning government.
The left uses the accusation of fascism as a tool to smear their opponents, avoid engaging with actual policies, and justify authoritarian measures.
Moral licensing allows left-leaning politicians and activists to act hypocritically, ignoring the rules they impose on others.
This phenomenon is rooted in a quasi-religious struggle against a perceived "evil" that justifies almost any action.
The left often uses a simplistic, binary framework by identifying their political opponents as Nazis and advocating for the opposite, regardless of policy merits.
This strategy serves to stifle debate and emotionally blackmail the public into supporting left-wing causes.
