A nihilist regarding truth, I see. You might want to watch this video to see why that's a dangerous attitude, and one that plays into the hands of morally unscrupulous actors and foreign adversaries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nknYtlOvaQ0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nknYtlOvaQ0
- seppin 6y ago"Everything is shit and everyone is guilty" is the exact thing an autocrat needs the majority of his citizens to believe to remain in power.
- disown 6y ago> A nihilist regarding truth Nope. I believe in truth. My point is that the news industry isn't in the business of truth. They have never been. The news is in the propaganda business. They exist to form opinions. It's why pretty much every news company around the world was formed by a politician, banker, industrialist or government. If trump created "Real News Company", I'm sure you'd say only the naive would view such a company as a purveyor of truth right? > You might want to watch this video to see why that's a dangerous attitude, and one that plays into the hands of morally unscrupulous actors You might also look up the history of the news industry, manufacturing consent, etc. And the morally unscrupulous actors are the major news companies. The real danger is not from those who question the news, it's from those who blindly view it as the truth.
