manifest fraud

Yet Schmitt’s critique of liberalism’s duplicity remains eerily prescient. He laid out the “manifest fraud” of those who declare the inhumanity of war while waging it. “The worst confusion arises,” Schmitt warned, “when concepts such as justice and freedom are used to legitimise one’s own political ambitions and to disqualify or demoralize the enemy.” Politics was no place for experts.

Indeed, in Schmitt’s view, liberals claimed the moral or rational high-ground—the two were rendered identical—the same way a military general might claim the literal high-ground, only so as to gain an advantage in combat. “Whoever invokes humanity wants to cheat,” Schmitt wrote. Today, the same cynicism steeps terms like “political correctness,” “the tolerant left,” and “social justice warriors”, which contain implicit connotations of hypocrisy—suggesting Schmitt’s suspicions are still widely shared.
