Now Liberals themselves haven't grasped this. It was Liberalism that prioritised emotions over facts and created this Post-Truth society. In other words, it was Liberalism that decided that facts shouldn't matter. The truth doesn't matter so much as how people feel about that truth. Because it's not loving to say it, you see? The Leftist ideology dictates that if the truth offends, the truth must be silenced. If someone speaks the truth that Islam is a dangerous ideology, the Liberal will shut him down. If someone speaks the truth that homosexuality is an unnatural and unhealthy perversion, the Liberal will shut him down. We call people who speak it, "bigots".įor example, if someone now speaks the truth that transgenderism is a psychiatric disorder, the Liberal will shut him down. Indeed, we increasingly hate the truth for its divisive nature. This is why presently, as the Oxford Dictionary puts it, " objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief’." As our culture becomes more Liberal - increasingly driven by the heart than the head - we increasingly are shaped by emotion rather than objective facts. This is the simple reason why we now live in a post-truth society. All we now needed was Love. In other words, we rejected the Hard Right Conservative virtues, and decided to pursue the Soft Left Liberal virtues instead. In the new Postmodern Era (1967 - present day), we decided that we didn't need or want Truth anymore.
However, people soon began fighting over what the Truth was. By 1967, after many wars over competing truth claims, people became so exasperated that we had a cultural revolution and decided to abandon the pursuit of Truth entirely.
During the Modern Era (1650-1967) we pursued Truth believing it would create Utopia. In our current series, we've been highlighting exactly how our society became post-truth. It has also become associated with a particular noun, in the phrase 'post-truth politics.'" At the end of 2016 they announced, "After much discussion, debate, and research, the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year 2016 is 'post-truth' – an adjective defined as ‘relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief’". They continued, "The concept of post-truth has been in existence for the past decade, but Oxford Dictionaries has seen a spike in frequency this year in the context of the EU referendum in the United Kingdom and the presidential election in the United States. Every year, the Oxford Dictionary chooses a Word Of The Year.
