I want to become more persuasive. Therefore I am trying to find the best arguments for the neoliberal/totalitarian mindset.
My initial approach was,
Life is unfair!
This is something most of us could accept.
Why is life so unfair?!?!?!?
That a good question. In fact the "answer" may be the driving force of the(ir) argument.
If you believe that life has always been harsh, brutish, and short- then you are able to appreciate the progress that has been made over a relatively short period of time across much of the planet.
However, if you believe
That's just the way it is. Get used it.
or worse
It's so-and-so's fault. UR oPpResSEd!
then Your Individual Power is reduced and so is your empathy for other Individuals
in which case why not believe a group of "officials" could govern like angels if only everyone stopped
