By Rob Henderson, Quillette Many have discovered an argument hack. They don’t need to argue that something is false. They just need to show that it’s associated with low status. The converse is also true: You don’t need to argue that something is true. You just need to […]
Journalist Glenn Greenwald tells ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ invades ‘attempted various forms of psychological terror.’
