  Anarchopathology of Language (1/5): From the Poetics of Enchantment to the Clamor of Propaganda in the Language of Political Careerism Mahmoud Sadeghi Janbahan “English translation provided by ChatGPT.”   Introduction Political language in modern history has consistently been exposed to a peculiar form of contamination—oscillating between two seemingly opposite yet essentially kindred poles: poeticization and sloganeering.

In moral anarchopathology, “lies” are not merely individual unethical behaviors, but complex, multi-layered phenomena that can have: Individual roots: traumatic experiences, authoritarian tendencies, erosion of moral courage, underdeveloped ethical rebellion ...
