Why did Tyler Robinson accuse Charlie Kirk of “spreading hate”? And what does this reveal about contradictions in his worldview — and the wider political environment that shaped him?
This video examines how “floating signifiers” — vague words like “hate”, “justice”, and “progress” with no fixed meaning — are used across politics, journalism, academia, and celebrity culture. How do floating signifiers and emotional appeals shape young people’s thinking — and reduce debate to labeling?
Through real-world examples from Matthew Dowd (political analyst), Joe Biden, Anne Hathaway, and others, this video explores patterns of labeling and emotional framing, and highlights a healthier approach to disagreement.
