basically. the business models won't be able to generate profits that keep pace with the hype, investors will get spooked, poorly run companies will implode and better-run firms will start making panic cuts, and the domino effect will play itself out.

pathos: i sympathize with the victims and wish for the safety of hostages
logos: the aforementioned attack prompted a genocide that violates international law and human decency. the prime minister is primarily to blame.

hi rhetoric instructor here, this is a very smartly constucted statement that leads with reasonable sympathy, guides the reader to the more pressing issue, and concludes with a clear value statement.

Folks who believe earnestly (tankies) or second-hand (those misinformed by tankies) that Disco Elysium is ✨about✨ the virtues of communism have missed the gooey center of one of the richest, most human works of the 21st century.
