Tom Luongo writes at his blog The Oil Nationalization Two-Step. Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images.
You’ve all heard me rant about the “Straussian Two-Step,” which is nothing more than a retread of the Hegelian Dialectic. Here’s the formal definition:
An interpretive method, originally used to relate specific entities or events to the absolute idea, in which some assertible proposition (thesis ) is necessarily opposed by an equally assertible and apparently contradictory proposition (antithesis ), the mutual contradiction being reconciled on a higher level of truth by a third proposition (synthesis ).
In modern politics it’s used to create a false reality by asserting something that is
partially true (at best) or a truth that you yourself created as a person in power.
In today’s case it’s a manufactured energy crisis across the West.
In order to see the Straussian Two-Step however you have to work backwards.
