Enemy of the People
US President Donald Trump has been calling the media enemy of the people, complaining about fake news and attacking any coverage criticizing his administration. Ever since he gained power, scholars have been referring to him as an emblem of the post-truth politics.
The reality TV star is himself deemed as a master of distorting reality and disregarding facts, issues apparently not high on agenda for his supporters.
A brief look at humanitys recent history, however, proves that there was never a halcyon truth era as dictators and autocrats never had a good relationship with free press.
When truth becomes murky, people do not know what to fight for and one outcome is justification of violence. Take what happened in Chicago over the last weekend
About 70 people were shot by guns that Trump and his friends at the NRA want so badly to be available in the hands of people in the street.
When it comes to making profit you might as well let the imagination run wild in the American gun industry, yielding phenomena such as 3D-printed guns.
The controversy over online publication of blueprints for 3D-printed guns was recently revived after the US State Department allowed an organization called Defense Distributed to finally go ahead and release plans online.
