Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that I was only referring to liberals. There are plenty of people who are primarily emotional due to the reasons I outlined.
There’s a difference between hyperbolic language that Rockwell often uses and “physical”, real-time emotion that the OP described.
Because only robots shut themselves off from the problems, struggles, and oppressions many people face outside their little boxes…? Maybe…
Wait, what?
YES! Excellent article. “Radical in the sense of being in total, root-and-branch opposition to the existing political system and to the State itself. Radical in the sense of having integrated intellectual opposition to the State with a gut hatred of its pervasive and organized system of crime and injustice. Radical in the sense of a deep commitment to the spirit of liberty and anti-statism that integrates reason and emotion, heart and soul.”
I hadn’t realized my cold hatred of the State was emotional, but it certainly is. And I’m a Radical. It does astound me. But it’s a good to know that truth.
Thanks for the article.
Jay is also right. Hatred is clearly an emotion. But we did not express it by facial feature or words. All of us have a good set of emotions, but that is not what the word emotional means. Emotional, to me, describes a person with limited or no ability to surpress his emotions in real-time. And I do agree with previous writers that these are usually people with limited critical-thinking skills and often a lack of reasoning ability. However it could also be, particularly in this case, that the ‘emotional’ people have found that such attacks work successfully, but only in the very short run.
