Post-truth society - Jan Theuninck, 2020
acrylic on canvas, 70 x 100 cm, 2020
La société post-vérité, à la recherche de la vérité perdue
De term post-truth society heeft betrekking op een samenleving waarin machthebbers voornamelijk beroep doen op de emoties van de publieke opinie in plaats van op objectieve feiten. Wat al dan niet de waarheid is, is van secundair belang.

The term post-truth society refers to a society in which rulers mainly appeal to the emotions of public opinion rather than objective facts. What may or may not be the truth is of secondary importance.
When all are blackmailed we get a post-truth society (Jan Theuninck, 2020)
According to Hannah Arendt, the preparation for totalitarianism "has succeeded when people have lost contact with their fellow men as well as the reality around them; for together with these contacts, men lose the capacity of both experience and thought. The ideal subject for totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist." (Anouk De Clercq)
The amazing thing is that there is a method behind it
het verbijsterende is dat daar een methode achter zit
