Sentimentales, ofendidos, mediocres y agresivos

Girauta warns against current forms of sentimental and ideological manipulation. In passing, he explains to us how the left has gained cultural hegemony. Understanding it requires an approach to post-Marxism. Specifically, the linking of apparently independent causes or struggles. Why has the right not imposed a single cause of its own in recent decades? Why are you dragging yourself in the matter of values? Why do you always end up internalizing premises that you initially resist? There is one main reason: he has disengaged from the culture war and does not believe in the power of discourse. In that sense, the right is infinitely more materialistic than the new left. An important warning: the cultural war that Girauta defends does not seek to pass cultural hegemony to the right. Its objective is to preserve the founding principles of liberal democracy, gradually distorted: equality, freedom of expression, burden of proof, respect for the private sphere, etc. Converted into a permanent generator of antagonism, the democratic left has mutated its nature. This transformation, added to the insane renunciation of the imaginary of conservatives and liberals, explains the return of censorship, cultural cancellation, neo-puritanism, environmental coercion and the infantilization of society. Also the paradox of a youth always on the side of the established power while believing to fight it. She has been trained not to tolerate contrary opinions, which he interprets as violence. Meanwhile, the big technology corporations foster social hostility and individual frustration.
