"The Fire Hose Of Falsehood" Is A Russian Propaganda Technique Used By Trump Cult (And Other Fascist-Populist Movements) To Enforce Doubt Through Torrents Of Lies, Unfounded Insinuation, And Deceptive Hypotheses

 

Earlier Today, I Heard A Trump Supporter Say: "You Don't Know What To Believe." Once Trump Gets You To Throw Up Your Hands, You Won't Be Able To Determine What's True. Instead, You'll Be More Willing To Accept Lies As Truth. This Is Why Trump Lies So Much And Says "Who Knows? We'll See" So Often.

Thanks for your email.


I think it's wise to read Heather every day, not just for her content and views, but for her hopefulness.

Because the dimwits are convinced that "sound thinking" is "built-in," they routinely confuse opinion with truth, and often elevate their opinions above truth.
At bedrock, the origin of this arrogance is self-apotheosis, and the outcome epistemological calamity.

Dear David,


Ed and I both wonder what you think of this Umair article about the working class turning to fascism.
