The left-wing postmodern idea of “truth” as a mere pick-and-choose official narrative is now normal.
…some untruths become either “noble lies” that serve communitarian purposes or canonized lies that would cause too much collateral damage if exposed.
The lie, or at least an unproven “truth,” soon becomes so institutionalized that the effort to challenge, or even modify it, is seen as corrective medicine far worse than the disease of the lie.
Legends become fact, and lies become truth on the basis of their service to a cause.
In our upside-down world, the smeared “liar” is the revealer of such fraud. And sadly the deified “truth-teller” is in truth the abettor of falsity.
And all this is the work of amoral “moralists.”
