The Calamity of the Weaponized Narrative

Overview

The article discusses the dangers that criminalization of disagreement poses to capital markets. Jones identifies that the "substitution of ad hominem attacks for policy discussion" is now beginning to blot out intelligent conversations making serious policy discussions difficult to maintain.

Why is this important?

"The playbook of the aggressive policy advocate these days apparently recommends the weaponization of the narrative; turbocharging criticism through the “discovery” of criminal behavior in those with whom we don’t agree or don’t like."
