You do not exist as an individual . Natoinalism claims there are two conflicting groups ; the people vs the elite. In reality neither exists . People are not all the same and there is no one centre of power. This is nothing other than a fairy story allowing nationalist to claim power. Lie 2. The world is simple. It is not. In my opinion the world is at its most beautiful when it is infinelty complex. Beauty is all the shades of grey between the black and the white. Nationalists blame everything that is wrong on the ' elite ' and everything that is right is a result of the ‘people ‘. Lie 3. You must not question. Independant minds are a threat to power and are brandished Enemies of the People. Lie 4. The 4th lie is that institutions are engaged in a conspiracy against the people. The courts, the EU, the WHO, the WTO, etc. In reality these institutions limit and scrutinise the power of government. Lie 5. The 5th lie is that difference is bad. This is applied to people from different countries, people with different coloured skin, people with different sexualities or even clothing.Minorities are treated as threat to the integrity of ‘the people ‘rather than proof of the beautiful and wondrous richness of human kind. Lie 6. The sixth lie is that there is no such thing as the truth. This is because truth is a challenge to power. "Alternative facts" and the idea of " Fake News” are used exclusively to discredit people who tell the truth. Attacks on the media like the BBC are part of this attack on truth. We have left the EU because we were lied to and duped . Now seek motive and expose it and the liars for what they are . And reverse these lies . We are all individuals and our freedom is sacrosanct. Let’s see the truth . Huge thank you ( and apologies for my hack job ) to the brilliant author Ian Dunt .」1月1日 23時16分
