truth is the first casualty of any war.
i don't just mean traditional guns and bombs war either.
i'm a bit out of my depth here jumping into a conversation about postmodernism so forgive me for clumsily interjecting.
the right have a set of goals that they are set on achieving.
if the truth helps achieve those goals, fine.
if the truth hurts those goals, then lie.
the people perpetrating these lies know they are lies and they could care less about some wishy washy "oh but look at it from this point of view" in any genuine manner.
they are serving up raw and uncut bullshyt because they know that enough people will not bother to do any research of their own.
and if by some chance they do, any resource that discredits their narrative has already been discredited as fake news.
how do you engage with and combat lies and people that embrace them?
i do not believe that we can co-opt this tactic but i also don't know how to fight it.
i've had several long conversations with people i went to high school with who have joined the trump cult and it is impossible to have a real
conversation or to introduce facts that disprove what they believe because it discredits the narrative they cling on to.
the goals of the far right are more important than any "truth" that may or may not fit their perspective.
this postmodern view is really just a "by any means necessary" strategy.
the sooner we see this for what it is the better off we will be in combating it.
it must be recognized and called out as a clear and present danger.
i just rolled out of bed...
. I don’t see how Trump doesn’t end up in prison after this.
