It strikes me that positivism and dichotomised thinking work hand-in-hand in populist "Western" discourse. In other words, specific buzz-words are utilised to indict people. Or if the buzz-words are not used, then plausible deniability is invoked. In the meantime, one is either represented as a "winna" or a "losa".
But all of this denies even the possibility of real communication, whilst maintaining the appearance that people are vying for places within an objective scheme of things.
Critical thinking has no place -- none whatsoever -- in conventional (populist) Western discourse.
