Because every fact is disputed. There's no truth anymore. Look no further than the use of masks and hydroxychloroquine in the United States.

Masks work to help stop the spread and hydroxychloroquine has no evidence that it helps anyone who is sick.

There, was that so hard?

I completely agree with you but there's a huge swath of people that don't.

Then they ignore evidence to believe what they want to, not what is most logical.

Internet or no, those people were always going to be misinformed. Because they choose to be.

For many, yes. That’s the problem.

> anymore

There never was. Don't limit yourself to the concept of a single objective truth.

With regards to my comment about the mask and medicine, what's not truthful about it? There are still people that don't believe that masks help, and that hydroxychloroquine will help them.

Not in regard to just that but to people in general. People are telling you the world as they perceive it. I don't live in the anti-mask-pro-HQwhatever world either, but I have found it much more effective to let people have their truths than to get in a never-ending fractal of battles that just make people dig their heels in and hate each other.

The fact that the truth monopolists first declared that masks don't work and now they do?

I always believed they work, even when the government first lied about that.

Embrace... falsehood?

You're still doing it! All truths can be true simultaneously because they are a property of the observer.
