A math teacher tries to teach a young child that 2 + 2 = 4, but falls victim to the age of post-truth. A short film by David Maddox, which aims to promote the politics of post-truth (post-truth), where objective facts have less influence on the formation of public opinion than,what emotion and personal belief. The use of the term became widely known in the context of the Brexit referendum, as well as the policies pursued by Donald Trump in the United States. Trump and his staff as well as the protagonists of Brexit, did not attempt within a set of generally true allegations to channel something false to mislead and deceive public opinion. Instead, they questioned the facts and the facts, addressing the common feeling of hatred, xenophobia, insecurity and anger.

   Good morning and thank you for the clarification. But I understood it from the beginning. And that is exactly what I am talking about : the video belongs to the general propaganda carried out with incredible audacity. He tries to convince us that the victims (who support unshakable logic and yet receive strong attacks from everywhere) it is ….the media and the US and UK systemic regime. !!!!!... You realize it, how funny and absurd that is?...Thanks for hosting my comments.

   The video is EXTREMELY misleading! At least the description below that…
   It shows a lady being attacked by EVERYONE without being able to defend herself
   her position as whenever she says the obvious (2+2=4) they attribute to her insidious intentions which are so irrelevant and subjective (as well as extremely absurd) which is simply impossible to refute. In this way, he is marginalized in time zero and the indisputable truth he invokes is put 'on the edge'., Trump and Brexit opponents did NOT suffer, but… the fans!

     Excuse me, Mr. Manos, but you have no idea. The author himself has written that the video refers to the term post-fact, who was born in 2016 with Trump and Brexit. You can also see it in the original video, in which the description says features: “A well meaning math teacher finds herself trumped by a post-fact America”. It even says 'Trumped' so you understand what it's about.

     You are absolutely right, we thought exactly the same. But we live in an age of distortion. Probably the creator is playing with our minds with the description he gives in his film. The same logic applies to many areas of our lives today.
