Pourquoi “Just Asking Questions" est une technique de désinformation ?

Choses à Savoir

La technique du "Just Asking Questions" (ou JAQ), littéralement « je fais juste poser des questions », peut sembler inoffensive, voire vertueuse : après tout, poser des questions, c'est chercher la vérité, non ? Pourtant, dans le domaine de la rhétorique et de la communication, c'est aussi une stratégie de désinformation bien connue, précisément parce qu'elle sème le doute sans assumer directement une affirmation fausse ou trompeuse.1. Une apparence de neutralité… trompeuseLa force du JAQ réside dans sa fausse neutralité. Plutôt que d'affirmer : « Les vaccins causent des maladies »,on dira : « Est-ce que les vaccins pourraient causer des maladies ? »Cette formulation n'engage pas directement celui qui parle. Il peut toujours dire :« Je ne fais que poser la question ! »Mais l'effet est bien là : on introduit une idée douteuse dans l'esprit de l'auditeur, même sans preuve, sans source, ni affirmation explicite.2. Semeur de doute, sans preuveLe JAQ est souvent utilisé pour introduire des théories du complot ou des mensonges, en évitant la responsabilité factuelle. Il sème la suspicion à l'égard de faits établis, de la science ou des institutions, sans jamais présenter de données solides.Exemples : « Et si le changement climatique n'était qu'un moyen de contrôle ? » « Pourquoi les médias ne parlent-ils jamais de ce scientifique censuré ? »Ces questions laissent entendre une manipulation, tout en évitant frontalement le mensonge… mais elles créent un climat de méfiance généralisée, souvent injustifié.3. Le JAQ comme outil de manipulation rhétoriqueDans les débats publics ou en ligne, le JAQ est un outil puissant car il déplace la charge de la preuve. Celui qui répond doit défendre la réalité face à une question insidieuse, ce qui lui donne l'air d'être sur la défensive.C'est aussi une technique délibérément virale : elle invite à s'interroger, à douter, à partager, même sans croire complètement à ce qui est suggéré. 4. Quand poser une question devient un acte politiqueToutes les questions ne sont pas problématiques, évidemment. Ce qui distingue le JAQ en tant que stratégie de désinformation, c'est l'intention derrière : utiliser la question pour propager un doute, sans jamais chercher une réponse honnête.Dans les discours de figures complotistes, d'influenceurs extrémistes ou de certains trolls, c'est une arme rhétorique redoutable, précisément parce qu'elle prétend être innocente.En résuméLe "Just Asking Questions" devient problématique quand il est utilisé pour manipuler, et non pour comprendre. Sous couvert de curiosité, il propage le doute, légitime les fausses croyances, et affaiblit la confiance dans les faits établis. Poser des questions, oui. Mais pas pour éviter la vérité.

In this episode I talk with Zach Weissmuller, senior producer at Reason magazine and cohost of the ‘Just Asking Questions' podcast with Liz Wolfe. Wolfe recently published a piece for reason entitled ‘How the Libertarian Party Lost It's Way', which is critical of the current direction of the LP. It generated a lot of conflict between Reason staffers and Mises Caucus-oriented libertarians, and Zach discusses the article, the controversy surrounding it, and his own video work on the Mises Caucus. We discuss the purpose of the Libertarian Party, the controversial messaging coming from some LP state affiliates such as the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire, the Chase Oliver campaign, the rift within the libertarian movement between so-called ‘left' and ‘right' libertarians, where Reason is located on that spectrum, and the prospects for libertarian unity and advancing libertarian ideas. We then discuss the current state of the 2024 presidential race and the potential for electoral chaos.  Media Referenced:Zach Weissmueller on X: @TheAbridgedZachLiz Wolfe Article: https://reason.com/2024/06/25/how-the-libertarian-party-lost-its-way/Zach's ‘Reno Reset' Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsgFdPqOAhkZach's 2024 LP Convention Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky63JKjIBzEJust Asking Questions podcast: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBuns9Evn1w9K02WT8x-gzSI-UdeeXFG9&si=LSQaKOht85ZjkV81Reason TV: https://www.youtube.com/@ReasonTV  The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

In 2012, the University of Miami philosopher Colin McGinn was accused of sexual harassment by a graduate student. When the matter became public, Pinker wrote in an open letter that McGinn was a “brilliant and distinguished scholar” and that if the University of Miami pursued disciplinary action against McGinn for “exchanging sexual banter with a graduate student,” it would “put a chill on communication between faculty and graduate students and on the openness and informality on which scholarship depends.” In our conversation, Pinker often brings up “The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature,” which, even two decades after its release, illustrates core aspects of his thinking today. The book argues that our individual behaviors — our intelligence, our sociability, our tendencies toward violence — are rooted in our genes, not just the environment in which we are raised. “.. in 2006 Pinker published a favorable review of a scientific paper which argued that Ashkenazi Jews may have evolved to have higher IQs than other racial and ethnic groups.” One of the first academics to be canceled, Pinker says, was E. O. Wilson. Wilson was a biologist and professor of evolutionary biology at Harvard. Today, he is known for two things: his award-winning work on biodiversity and his public branding as a racist. In 1975, Wilson published a book called “Sociobiology: The New Synthesis,” which argues that behaviors result from genes — “very much in the strain of work that I wrote about on human nature,” Pinker says — and stepped into a debate about scientific racism. In his book, Wilson writes that there should be a “discipline of anthropological genetics” to explore whether cultural differences are biological. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/10/27/steven-pinker-scrut/ Pinker currently serves on the E.

The Economist's Sue-Lin Wong, host of the new podcast The Prince, discusses the most powerful person in the world, Xi Jinping. As China's 20th Communist Party Congress convenes, Xi has positioned himself to rule China for another five years, and maybe the rest of his life. But so little is known about him … until now. Plus, witness the drones filling the skies of Ukraine—Ghost Phoenixes, Switchblades, and these so-called “Kamikaze” models. And it's an Antwentig, in which Angela Landsbury's cinematic son is clarified and “Just Asking Questions” is endorsed.

Richard Dawkins is a well known figure in the freethought community. His books have been best sellers and have helped lead many people to ditch religion. In recent years, Dawkins has not been a decent human being and on April 10th a transphobic tweet reminded us all we need to stop putting science communicators on a pedestal. The support Dawkins received for "Just Asking Questions" reminds us what Humanism really means as we reject his questioning of the basic dignity and worth of a group of people for no rational reason.
