THE TRUTHOF PASSION: ABOUT THE DECTRUCTION OF PUBLIC DISCUSSION BY VIRTUAL SPACE
THE TRUTHOF PASSION: ABOUT THE DECTRUCTION OF PUBLIC DISCUSSION BY VIRTUAL SPACE

Summary/Abstract: Virtual space as a free, open playground infantilizes us emotionally and decivilizes us. The deposition of cultural habits, conversational correctness and the need for argumentation in dialogue is lost and is replaced by the affectability of expression and the simplistic abbreviation of aggression. The emptiness of vocabulary, the spreading of absurd lies, unverified information and non-facts in social networks, becomes the source of information in the public media space. The professional and deliberate dissemination of information - prepared in the grey zone of pre-media professionals (from PR agencies through press services and secretariats of political parties or domestic and foreign segments of so far hardly identified, “secret” services and vaguely funded “alternative” media components) - causes the public space destruction, erosion of democracy and its institutions, the rise of extremism, populism, and the victory of marketing over responsibility.
