Doug Bostrom<p>"Conventional educational strategies in combatting post-truth seem to emphasize merits of truth, evidence, and reason. Such focus misses key elements of the post-truth era.

@MissConstrue I really think that for #artivists that would actually use these kind of signs in situ, they'd know better to put some indication about why this is not real, usually something like a campaigning or petition reference etc... I think this will be more and more important as the #posttruth era is reaching peak hysteria and everything coming out of Trump & co's mouth is utterly deranged and yet, true. We simply need more explicit guidance.

@brodnig über die Wichtigkeit des Kampfes gegen Norm-Verschiebungen:

"Die große Herausforderung ist, sich als Gesellschaft wiederholt in Erinnerung zu rufen, was nicht Normalität ist oder nicht werden sollte. Denn die Gefahr besteht, dass beim zweiten, dritten, vierten Mal die Kritik und der zivile Widerspruch leiser werden – weil es sich nicht mehr so unvorstellbar anfühlt, weil Zermürbungstaktiken fruchten."

SteadyDas Wichtigste: Das ist nicht normalEine der wichtigsten Fähigkeiten unserer Zeit ist, sich bei undemokratischen Vorgängen oder bei politischen Provokationen vor Augen zu führen: Das ist nicht normal.
