    "Truth is dependent on context and informed by existing power relations" is a concept I think I learned in a first-year seminar. Rudy G obviously isn't any kind of master philosopher but there's something annoyingly reductionist about this FACTS ARE FACTS! TRUTH IS TRUTH! mantra

        Oh, c'mon. This is a political brawl, not an epistemology seminar. Clinton was rightly pilloried for his infamous riff on the meaning of "is". For Giuliani to hide behind the screen of relativism is likely a sign of real desperation.

        Truth does not depend on context, perception does, and thus beliefs. You and your professor are confusing events and its narration with truth.

        Strangely just reading this post, “Postmodernism is ‘cultural logic of late capitalism,’ as Fredric Jameson rightly observes. It can serve tankie interest in the case of a Khomeini or fash interest in the case of general destruction of idea of progress”

        Americanism requires denial of reality. So do most bad actors to maintain power.

        Context has always mattered in any real, genuine pursuit of truth. That said, Giuliani routinely uses the matter-of-fact as leverage for his highly authoritarian, irrational goals.

        Why are you a contrarian about what seems to be everything? Giuliani is gaslighting us when he says truth is not truth. It is that simple. There is no larger philosophical context for him. I can’t believe that is hard for you to acknowledge.

        And while I love the fact that you are so effing contrarian to the received narrative, once in awhile you just have to call out the obvious buffoons.

        That's the reliablest measurement of truthfulness: degree of aversion & opposition it engenders.

        What the hell man? I'm sure first year you read 1984 too. Do you agree Ignorance is Strength etc? Those are slogans of totalitarianism. You think your contrarianism is sophisticated, it's not. Figure out what you stand for if anything.

        "...informed by"...really? What does that mean? Information gets transferred from one place to another, by a person, an informer? Or the "meme", the abstract? "Dependent on context?" Really? What context...astronomical? Social sciences are like science fiction...badly termed.
