The concept of virtue is being hijacked by dictatorial forces from "summary" of Dictatorship of Virtue by Richard Bernstein

The current state of affairs in our society is troubling. We are witnessing a disturbing trend where the concept of virtue is being manipulated and twisted by authoritarian forces for their own agenda. Virtue, which is traditionally associated with moral excellence and righteous behavior, is now being used as a tool by dictatorial powers to control and manipulate the masses. This perversion of virtue is a dangerous development that threatens the very fabric of our society. Instead of promoting genuine goodness and ethical conduct, these dictatorial forces are using the guise of virtue to suppress dissent, stifle freedom of expression, and impose their own narrow-minded beliefs on others. They are perverting the very essence of virtue, turning it into a means of control and domination. This hijacking of virtue by dictatorial forces is a form of tyranny in itself. By imposing their own moral code on others and silencing any opposing voices, these forces are undermining the principles of democracy and freedom. They are creating a culture of fear and conformity, where individuals are afraid to speak out or question authority for fear of being labeled as immoral or unvirtuous. We must be vigilant and resist this encroachment on our values and freedoms. We must reclaim the true meaning of virtue and stand up against those who seek to manipulate and distort it for their own gain. It is only through courage, integrity, and a commitment to true virtue that we can combat the dictatorship of virtue and uphold the principles of justice and liberty for all.
