…it is relativism…
You could call it the death of absolutes, also in vogue for a very long time in the not so hallowed halls of academia.
Relativism manifests also as an extension of what is called “politically correct” thinking that has been transferred, for a very long time, into the brains of captive audiences in public school settings.
Where it has been taught that right and wrong are not absolutes but, really, a function of your personal view and how you “feel” about something. Our overly indulgent, child-centered culture is not producing beings with grit and capacities for personal discernment. As mentioned in a “piece” in timesonline (UK) today, children are being raised as little emperors and empresses.
Anyway, many pundits and “newsies” absolutely must be products of this kind of education, else they’d be ashamed to write the crapola they write. Which crapola, if you glance at many websites, is staunchly defended by a (seemingly) large number of adherents.
All of which brings us back (does it ?:)) to susceptibility to The Big Lie, or (for a less politically charged term) A Big Lie.
