Black Magic has anchors, not beliefs
One of the more stimulating blogs I am following this days is Unqualified Reservations. Its value is more aesthetic than scientific: it is about formulating a new point of view on politics, which the author, Mencius Moldbug, calls neocameralism, against the currently prevailing views that he calls Universalism.
A critic of Moldbug's views contested that Universalism fails to actually denote anything coherent, because there is no well-defined set of beliefs that can be unequivocally associated to said Universalism. But that's missing the point.
Universalism, despite its claims to the contrary, is not a rational philosophy; it is an emotional religion. And so, its basics tenets are not concepts that can be rationally articulated; they are anchors that are emotionally expressed. Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, Democracy, Universal Rights, Peace, Love, Everyone, People, etc. -- all these are the Good Things, but not in any rational concept, always as emotional anchors, as Sacred things beyond discussion.
And so it doesn't matter that the Universalist's vague and evolving concepts of Democracy should be inconsistent, and that Universalists should demonize elected politicians who do not embrace their beliefs openly enough, and admire dictators who spew out the propaganda they like. It doesn't matter that the liberty propounded by Universalists is but a pretext for slavery in the hands of an almighty State (or whoever they claim legitimately represents Society). etc. What matters is that you should feel and speak correctly. Politically correct is not about the content of what you say, it is about adherence to those taboos derived from the Sacred character of the Universalist anchors.
