Nawaz explains,
"Relativism, this idea that truth is relative, this idea that it‘s all subjective, that everything is personal experience that’s being promoted, there’s no such thing as reality.
++
“When you promote the idea that there’s no such thing as truth.
And When you shut down debate that is seeking truth, not that it claims truth, but is seeking it, when you shut that debate down in aid of this idea, that truth is relative.
++
It is no longer about seeking the truth for them. ‘The truth is relative and it serves a purpose.’ What happens when you do that?
When there’s no such thing as truth, you can’t define reality. And when you can’t define reality, the only thing that matters is power.”
++
When there’s no such thing as truth, because everything’s relative, the only thing that matters is power because power gets to define reality.
And This brings us to the hybrid war we are in right now. And that’s why people that are in power, who are seeking a specific outcome, from the world that we are in, want to shut debate down. What they are not interested in is seeking truth. What they are interested in, is shutting that debate down because power steps into that void when reason no longer exists.
++
Because if you can’t hold onto reality, you have no premise to scrutinize government for whether they are telling the truth or not.
And it’s really, It is a war in that sense, a hybrid war.
So information in that war becomes your most powerful weapon.
