“Fascinating and terrifying… illuminates so much about humans and social media.”
Bri Lee, author of ‘Who Gets to Be Smart’
“This is a timely account of a growing malignancy affecting all modern democracies.”
- Kevin Rudd, former prime minister of Australia
“Read this book if you want to save democracy.”
- Wayne Swan, former deputy prime minister of Australia
From fringe conspiracy theories to ‘alternative facts’, a timely look at how we arrived in the ‘fake news’ era.
Would your younger self believe the news of today?
An entire city block blown up by a suicide bomber on Christmas Day because he believed phone towers spread disease. A representative elected to the US Congress on a platform that Democrats are secretly harvesting an anti-aging chemical from the blood of abused children. Angry rioters in furs and horns overrun the Capitol in a bloody carnage of insurrection. The prime minister of Australia employing the wife of his friend who fronts a group the FBI has declared terrorists. A global pandemic which, even as they lie dying from it, people refuse to believe exists.
Many who sat in shocked disbelief as these events beamed around the world asked the same question: ‘How did we get here?’ For those rioters, it was the culmination of a journey of online radicalisation that began with the weaponisation of disinformation by their political leaders and outrageously biased ‘news’ commentators.
‘Facts and Other Lies’ puts fake news in its historical context and explains how disinformation has fractured society, even threatening democracy itself. It explains why disinformation is so potent and so hard to stop, and what we can do to help prevent its proliferation in Australia - where politicians and shock jocks are already operating from the same dark playbook.
It outlines how anyone can defuse disinformation in the home, office or pub, or wherever the deluded gather to spread their nonsense. Be prepared!

Thanks

Sounds interesting.

I’m not sure that alternate facts are so very new: we’ve always had the Daily Mail and Ronald Reagan convinced the whole of America that he singlehandedly liberated Ohrdruf.
And while it’s rotten that American schools are removing books from their shelves, at least the Catholic Church has given up on its Index of Banned Books.
These are interesting times, but magna est veritas et praevalet.
November 23rd, 2023
Ironic. The book on disinformation is itself disinformation. Ed Coper is an appropriate name.
@pryderi
Those books being removed from American school shelves would catch you a ban if you were to post their contents on YouTube.

There’s a lot about real life that’d be banned from YouTube. It’s a pretty low bar. Since queer-hating is in season on the Right again, LGBTQA+ content gets a ton of whiny comments by whiny bigots thumping on about nonsense and delusion until algorithms slant and bans enact…again, due to whiny b*tches that also cry about being censored in the same breath. Like bratty toddlers, they need to be sent to their rooms with no tv and no phone so they can think about how they might do better in the future.

magna est veritas et praevalet.
Rufly translates to “truth is mighty and will prevail” from comment of pryderi, I don’t understand why dis persen can’t just type that in english👀 either ways, thank you for uploading the book guest, and your comments are always informative and prydairy, though below you the always present roman invigilator seems to be absent today.😶

@Malachie520
Queer-hating isn’t in season. It’s evergreen and for good reason. Just cut the crap and add a ‘P’ to your little alphabet already. You child predators aren’t fooling anyone.

As if I have the energy to hate both myself AND losers like you. Yeet yourself into an oven and I might.
November 23rd, 2023
@entonbray By the numbers, 84% of all child predators are straight white Christian males.
This leads me to conclude it sure as hell isn’t us that are the predators.

@Adol - In the world?! Ah, here. I remember reading about this appalling crime, from a more international perspective (law), & immediately you encounter problems re-data. We have data on Western, democratic systems, whereas closed, oppressive states & ideologies either do not compile such data, or don’t share it. The result presents a skewed picture. Prima facie, it appears as if the UK, US, Australia, South Africa, etc. - have enormous problems, while other states have scarcely any child abuse at all. And these other states are the worst in terms of human rights violations - on the planet.
Of course, the solution is that democratic states are more open & enjoy a free, questioning press.
Psychological reality is that child abusers are a proportionate constant across cultures & societies.
The rate in the human pop is estim to be <5%. The prevalence is lower in women, but the picture is not entirely clear. Many cases exclusively involve underage children, without adult involvement.
As regards abusers being “straight” - that may be a category error. Heterosexuality is a discrete classification, whereas the offenders are in a sui generis class.

Press X to doubt. Politically touchy subjects seldom have accurate results published. After all, wouldn’t want to be promoting hate against ‘oppressed’ minorities now, would we?
I bet you also think white men are overrepresented as mass shooters or serial killers.

there are a lot of this statists copium books coming out, i have counted at least 6-10 in the last few weeks. I guess the truth requires constant propping up does it? We literally have two sides in the world now, a completely insane cohort that has lost the ability to critically think and believes the lies of the mainsewer media, and those who question and are attacked as conspiracy theorists. How many mountains of lies have to come out about the quackcine and J6 before you sick statists question anything? If anything your own behavior of severe stockholm syndrome proves the conspiracy danger is underestimated, because even livestock will escape from the pen given the chance. You just want to pull everyone into the slaughterhouse with you, and i wonder whether its a defect or gradual trauma based mind control that turned statists into biorobots?

The real story here is the depth of conformity and longing for approval. Following a close second, is the realization that anyone can write a book, and pervert the facts. The typical professed “democrat” is skilled at one thing, cliches. Armed with little information and low emotional intelligence, we now have generations of dimwits parroting intolerance and bigotry under the guise of “inclusion.” A result of dysfunctional parenting, we are stuck with a population suffering with low self-esteem, and yearning for acceptance. Unemployable, and lacking critical thinking skills, you are the disabled generation, and new wards of the state.

I don’t know where you get your figures from. But stats do lie! Or should I say can be manipulated to give a desired outcome.
In the UK. As part of a Criminology Degree, we had figures that showed that there were more “females” convicted of Child sex/abuse offences than men.
NOW BEFORE, you all shoot the messenger, RECALL. I said we were shown figures. AND if you look at most hideous figures of child molestation, Hindley etc. You may realise their gender cannot be denied.
Unfortunately, despicable men may want young children for sex. But sex is not the only Child abuse, nor is sex a singular act in most circumstances in these crimes. The mothers win on numbers and depravity.
Before you cast these figures out as trash!
Consider, Many woman, are left holding the baby in mental anguish. And that rotten cheating boyfriend left them with only their offspring to demonstrate their anger upon… Furthermore, most child sex rings have a high proportion of woman. Rarely is it a SINGLE male, they are too easily caught.

@Caeser963 - I had to stick up for you in the Forum (left a nasty taste in my mouth). Appears Iconaclasthero (yeah, I know a hero who breaks and destroys religious Artefacts - Not Muslim, I’m sure ;-) ) He thinks you have been using his handle to logon as him and leave interesting facts about the earth.
@Popty_ping. Nice to see SantaFart hasn’t attacked you on this post. I owe you a “cwrw” a two. Thanks for the uploads.
@Mastram, Latin is one of those languages where its meaning is not open to interpretation. So often used legally and scientifically to express names and concepts. Oh! And ‘cwrw’ is Welsh, The welsh use ‘w’s as an ‘oo’ sound. cwrw - or cooroo is beer. (popty_ping is a welsh onomatopoeic word for Microwave)

Thank you for your crazy-good comment.
For the rest of the emotional underlings, hate is bad for you.
