No evidence for that.
- JohnFen 2y agoI think that there is, but in true post-truth form, that's not relevant to my statement. I was stating an opinion.
- blueflow 2y agoAnd I'm saying that countries like North Korea, unfortunately, don't collapse.
- JohnFen 2y agoNorth Korea and such nations aren't post-truth at all, though. They have little-t truths that most of their people believe in. That's what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about capital-T Truth (of the objective sort).
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI would argue that North Korea has already collapsed, and we are looking at the results.
- rob74 2y agoWell, North Korea doesn't have "post-truth". It has good (or bad) old propaganda and brainwashing, but "post-truth" for me implies a plurality of (increasingly polarized) opinions. So "post-truth" can only happen in democratic societies, and is actually used by non-democratic states (Russia, North Korea, China...) to destabilize them.
