The defenders of Assange are tribalists - the collective. Assange must be excused because he is one of them. And the facts must be displaced by the myths of the tribe. The women accusing Assange count for nothing. They are outside the tribe, and threaten it. (Bolt 17.8.12)
"Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.” C. S. Lewis

Playdoh truth
What the Post-Modern deconstructionists have done well is to devalue truth based on facts by calling into question the idea of truth altogether. This approach means that facts themselves are open to manipulation and are frequently distorted to 'prove' sometimes the very opposite of what they are actually indicating. Truth now belongs to the tribe...falsehood lies in the realm of all of those who oppose the tribe.
