Abstract
The value systems established by centuries have been reversed under the pressure of the political correctness. I intend to talk about a way of communicating and transmitting messages in the public space nowadays. I write about post-truth, arguing that it is a lie cosmeticized, hidden in a language that astounds and is supported by ideas that challenge not only refined intelligence, but also common sense. When I write the word truth, I do not consider the concept of truth, which philosophy strives to define it, but I refer to the instrumental truth, the objective truth with which we operate daily, the truth as a benchmark of stability. And I put this truth in relation to the lie. I offer some concrete examples from the last three decades, from different environments, about events or statements that have been the subject of scandals that have started from the claim of some people to present a lie as a truth. I also refer to the fact that there is a whole Neo-Marxist literature that nullifies the natural hierarchy of things, so that objective truth loses its value, becomes irrelevant, flexible, until it is despised, because it is the instrument of „the conservative” individual, the class enemy of the progressives.
Highlights
The value systems established by centuries have been reversed under the pressure of the political correctness
My intention in this essay is to refer to a certain way of transmitting messages and communication in this post-truth era, which is dominated by Neo-Marxism, an ideology which is manifested through all its discharges: political correctness, LGBTQ movement, radical feminism, environmentalism etc
The term post-truth has been enshrined. It started to have a more frequent use on the occasion of Donald Trump’s electoral campaign and that of Brexit’s referendum; it is an instrument used by mass-media and politicians for manipulation purposes, winning votes or getting rich through theft, corruption or deception. It is a subject which is already discussed quite a lot and that is the reason why I am trying to avoid generalities here, in order to emphasize a few aspects in relation to the ‛post-truth’ germinated in the laboratories of Neo-Marxist ideologies and contained by the agenda of political correctness
Summary
The value systems established by centuries have been reversed under the pressure of the political correctness. Keynotes: post-truth, Neo-Marxism, political correctness, lie, moral values
