The difference between dialectic and rhetoric, and when it is appropriate to use one or the other? Is there a place for name-calling in rhetoric
The Way We Speak Now by Gracy Olmstead
When appealing to a common standard of discourse, one implies that we are part of the same people who share that standard, along with others. But journalists and SJWs and others make it clear that this is not the case -- they have turned discourse into warfare by other means. Why maintain the pretense that we belong to one civil society? This is a struggle for power, and one must use rhetoric to win over the undecided in order to protect the good, not adhere to some chivalric code that is no longer relevant.
Those who have destroyed honor cannot appeal to it. Dr. Fleming: Trump and the Gentlemen of the Press
