Thinking activity on Post - truth.....

Post-truth is, ironically, a term  created to evoke an "emotional response" to the use of emotion to drive new political dynamics.

It suggested that there once was a truth, but we as a polity have abandoned it in a favor of lies that appeal to our emotional biases.

It is currently used by various strips of globalists alarmed at the populists reactions to globalist projects; Brexit, Withdrawal from the Paris accords by the US etc...

The irony, is that EU is a nationalist project, and nationalism of course in inherently emotional exploitation of the natural human tendency to trust and favor those closest to themselves in terms of culture, family, relationship etc...

The election of "Donald Trump" and similar public reactions all over the world, have revealed the limitations of this strategy, with the reaction, notably an emotional rather than rational reaction, being to double down on language calculated to evoke hatred, contempt & disgust.

In my personal opinion, supporters of the globalists agenda are showing all the signs of addiction. As most people know the first hit of the heroin is the best one a user ever has. Every subsequent doss is less effective and yet the user soon finds themselves in a downward spiral, chasing that initial high with ever more desperate and intense repetition.

It will be very interesting to read about all of this in 20 years...

Thank you.
