Summary

This quote highlights the destructive nature of populism on the concept of truth. It suggests that while truth may suffer during times of war, it is populism that poses an even greater threat to truth. Populism, which often capitalizes on people's emotions and exploits their grievances, can manipulate and distort the truth to further its own agenda. By appealing to popular opinion rather than seeking objective facts, populism disregards the importance of truth and undermines the integrity of information. This quote draws attention to the dangers of populist politics and the erosion of truth that occurs as a result.
