Parable Of The Motorcycle Helmet:
"Let’s say you see a motorcycle driver who’s crashed on the side of the road. You immediately rush to help. You take off his helmet to help him breathe—and this is a big mistake. You’ve forgotten your first aid class where they told you you very much mustn’t do this as it can hurt their spine. The man you were trying to rescue is now paralyzed from the neck down for the rest of his life."
"Horrible tragedy, anyone would agree, but you are morally blameless. After all, you were just trying to help and only innocently caused the carnage."
"Yes. But what if we discovered there was someone who drove around looking for crash sites, and whenever he saw a crashed motorcyclist, took off their helmet, paralyzed them, and then said 'Oops!'"
"We would not consider that person blameless. We would be forced to conclude that far from being a misguided, but well-intentioned good samaritan, they are actually a psycho who gets off on hurting motorcycle crash victims."
"Same with the left. Take any issue. The poverty trap effects of welfare have been beyond dispute for decades for any reasonable observer. The black-lives-destroying effects of under-policing have been beyond dispute for decades. Etc etc etc etc. And yet they keep pulling off the motorcycle helmet at every opportunity, and then going 'Oh no! Who could have foreseen this?'"
"At some point you have to be forced to conclude that they’re not well-intentioned but misguided. That there’s something much darker going on."
