Det postfaktuelle samfund
Professor ved Institut for Engelsk, Germansk og Romansk ved Københavns Universitet Peter Harder mener at “Information fortjener ros for at gøre diskussionen om det postfaktuelle samfund til genstand for en hel serie“. Jeg gruer for at læse den serie, men ifølge Harder er åbningsartiklen “en god begyndelse” fordi den slår fast at “faktualiteten aldrig har hersket i politik, og at elitens hegemoni i meningsdannelsen er svække“. Men, alt er ikke ved det gamle, mener Harder
Der er en dæmon, som skal proppes tilbage i flasken igen. Det drejer sig ikke om, at mængden af vrøvl er øget – men om de normer, som styrer den politiske kultur. Det farlige og nye er, at en del af offentligheden – herunder indflydelsesrige offentlige personer – synes, det er o.k. at argumentere på en måde, som blæser på spørgsmålet om faktualitet.
(…)
Det er underordningen af faktualitetsnormen under det politisk ønskværdige, der er farlig for demokratiet. Og her er der faktisk urovækkende tendenser.
Og når en ængstelig humanist i Information, der taler postfaktualitet, også nævner “Durkheim, sociologiens fader” kan der ikke herske tvivl om hvad der kommer
Trenden viste sig først på dramatisk vis i USA under George W. Bushs regering. Det første sted det blev offentligt udtalt, at normerne var ændret, var i et interview med Karl Rove (oprindelig anonymt) i New York Times.
Karl Rove fortalte intervieweren, at han som politisk journalist repræsenterede ’the reality-based community’, der tog udgangspunkt i den foreliggende virkelighed. Men sådan fungerede verden ikke mere, sagde Karl Rove. Nu skabte regeringen sin egen virkelighed.
Tendensen optræder i forstærket form hos Donald Trump. Bl.a. har han flere gange påstået, at amerikanske muslimer jublede offentligt i Jersey City i New Jersey, da tårnene faldt den 11. september.
Da en journalist konfronterede ham med, at det lokale politi benægtede, at det var sket, holdt Trump bare fast ved, at sådan var det, uden forsøg på dokumentation.
Dette er – i modsætning til vrøvl og løgnagtighed i al almindelighed – noget nyt. En kommentator på Washington Post formulerede dette ved at formulere næste sætning: »I mean.What.The.Actual.Hell«. Kommentatoren understregede, at han ellers ikke plejer at blive chokeret over noget i politik.
Dæmonen ligger i detaljen. Harders artikel er fra 14/9 2016. Hvis han havde været vågen 2/12 2016 kunne han på Breitbart læse at hans påstand om Trumps postfaktualitet i forbindelse med jublende muslimer er “Outright lies,” som medierne gentager
Not only have eyewitnesses and contemporaneous reports proven Donald Trump 100% correct about Muslims celebrating 9/11, a just-uncovered local CBS News (WCBS-TV in New York) report completely vindicates Trump’s claim of “thousands and thousands” of Muslims celebrating the fall of the World Trade Center.
Just a couple of blocks away from that Jersey City apartment the F.B.I. raided yesterday and had evidence removed, there is another apartment building, one that investigators told me, quote, was swarming with suspects — suspects who I’m told were cheering on the roof when they saw the planes slam into the Trade Center. Police were called to the building by neighbors and found eight men celebrating, six of them tenants in the building.
The F.B.I. and other terrorist task force agencies arrived, and the older investigators on the task force recalled that they had been to this building before, eight years ago, when the first World Trade Center attack led them to Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, whose Jersey City mosque lies between the two buildings getting attention today. And the older investigators remember that the suspects that eventually got convicted for the first Trade Center case … lived in the building where these same eight men were celebrating the destruction that they saw from the roof. Calling this a hot address, the task force investigators ordered everyone detained.
(…)
Just two days earlier you have read this in the New York Post:
Here in New York, it was easy to get angry listening to Egyptians, Palestinians and the Arabs of nearby Paterson, N.J., celebrate as they received word of the murderous attack in New York and Washington. But Mayor Giuliani (who has been tireless and magnificent in this crisis) rightly warned New Yorker-ers that is would be wrong to take their anger our on the city’s Arab and Muslim residents. Attacks on Arab-Americans in Paterson or elsewhere are utterly indefensible.
You hear radio news reports about Muslims celebrations.
MTV runs a news report about Muslim celebrations.
