I don’t want to debate right-wingers online, its just a waste of time, but that’s where they get most of the support from. its not that the right wingers have an established community online and they do hate speech, the worse thing I get sad about is the people they brainwash.
I’m still learning theory, but I also want to start educating myself on discourse and meta-discourse too, and pointing out the fallacies that they go for, why they go for it, why the uneducated believe it.
I know there are resources on this, I just wanted to know where I can start. Would linguistics be a field of study connected to this? I think it does make sense.
Honestly, learn dialectical materialism, the dialectical materialist way of thinking is the scientific Marxist approach that will shed light on any of life’s issues. It is indeed connected to linguistics, as it is connected to every science, for example Saussure’s way of understanding words with the auditory imagery and the meaning and so on, can be a form of dialectics where the synthesis of both of these creates the word. AFAIK Lacan also grabs from Saussure to create some concepts in psychology, which also work as trios, and can also be considered dialectical.
