People keep saying “we’re in a post-truth era.”

No.

We’re in a post-consequence era.

But it doesn't have to stay that way.

@Daojoan Consequences will never be the same
@Daojoan It's not real post-truth unless it's from Post-Truth Province, otherwise it's just sparkling propaganda.
@Daojoan The truth and the consequences remain the same no matter what people think 🤔
@Daojoan There's no reason we cannot be in both a post-truth and post-consequences era. 😸
@Daojoan I suppose it's a result of people rather wanting to appear right than having integrity. Superficiality and hypocrisy is awarded with followers and money as tribe mentality runs rampant
@Daojoan The people who keep saying it have no idea that post-truth is essentially the default state of all politics in their country. All countries have a ‘default’ ideology that prioritises which facts are considered such and which are conveniently ignored; that is why certain countries—you know, the ones we call “rogue states”—are constantly lied about all the time, but nobody bats an eye because nobody cares about the truth.
@Daojoan for those who can afford the fine, there is no law or constraint
@Daojoan I'd say delayed consequences for the ultra rich and politicians ONLY. The rest of the society gets caught up in minimal things and goes bankrupt easily.
@Daojoan
"Post" implies permanence, it needs to be made just "suspended"

@Daojoan

So true what you say: “We’re in a post-consequence era.”

And also: “But it doesn't have to stay that way.”

@Daojoan Too much fucking around combined with too little finding out
@Daojoan I agree we need to stop pretending that fascism is something new. It is only new for us
@Daojoan too many co conspirators who are not being punished for associating with the criminals.
@Daojoan I started shunning the fascist types and when I try to get others to do it, it's "well I can't cut off my family or friends" or whatever. If you stay willing to associate with people who have adopted bad values, what does that make you.
@darwinwoodka @Daojoan i had no problem doing that
@Daojoan it's the same thing. If there are no consequences , then truth doesnt matter
