➔ Atlas Shrugged Part II Chapter 3: White Blackmail - Using Your Decency Against You
| 5 minute read
Previous: Part II, Chapter 2 - The Aristocracy of Pull
One of the most uncomfortable chapters to read in the whole book. Not because something terrible happens in the usual sense. Nobody gets killed, nothing blows up. The violence here is quieter. People weaponizing guilt, honor, and decency against the people who actually possess those things.
The title says it all. “White Blackmail.” Regular blackmail uses your sins against you. White blackmail uses your virtues.
