Nice one, Rol!
Some examples of this post-factual thing:
Take Syria. West started supported so called rebels there. Made an ISIS brand. Started a civil war in Syria. Then refugees start moving to Europe. Then, last autemn, Russia directly involved. But western media now trying to spin the situation the way that Russian involvment was a cause of refugees crysis.
Or Aleppo. 5 years of civil war - nobody cared about the city. Until Asad start making military successes there with Russian support. Then BAM - and twitter account of Bana, 7 tears old girl speaking perfect Englush and tweeting day and night arrived.

Its very much as if Orwell's 1984 and 'doublethinking' became a part of reality in the West.

P.S. The same with Trump. All the major Western media was just making fun of him the whole election. And now trying to say they was 'opposing the evil' from the start...

And no. The world itself isn't become post-factual. Cause you can't eat media spin. Can't burn it to make electricity/heat for houses. It doesn't kill (at least directly and by itself).



Postfaktisch i hear this every day from german politicians

This is very hard to put on a sign or chant at a Trump rally. Try again.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Lies. Its the refs fault. Its always the refs fault. Or in the case of American football its the Kicker.

That's not true.  Countless journalists, academics, and luminaries have expressed serious concern over the election of Donald Trump. To put it simply, the only ones celebrating his victory are the KKK, Russia, ISIS, and American conservatives.

Anyway, if people want to vote for right wing nutcases who refuse to believe in science, data, evidence, they deserve to be insulted and rightfully so. Don't expect a retraction or apology from people with common sense. The truth mattars not what your opinion is.

except Trump told more lies/untruths/madeupbullshitnumbers, than all the other candidates together.

Yet he won the election? the explaination? people dont care about the truth anymore.

What a great time it is, indeed. I can now make several claims without providing proof.

But hey, the next presidential election will give rise to more post truth claims and everyone will only make shit up to win future elections. When you reached a time where people don't care about facts, then you live with a bunch of morons. Idiocracy, we are coming !!!

All I got out of this was that you're a racist.

Take a sports team that suffered a brutal loss. When the coach or players get interviewed and asked the simple question "Why did you lose today?", the ensuing answer is commonly as blunt as "We seriously sucked butt and we did not deserve any better for this poor showing."

Which sports have you been watching because that`s far from the case in football at least. It`s always `the ref cost us the game` `the ball was too round` `the grass was too long` and various other stupid excuses

You mainly hear excuses from the supporters? 

 

The most you'll usually get is "there as some decisions that didn't go our way, but that is football"
